Bread, Salt, and the Fuel Within

Depth / Bulgaria, Eurovision

On Sofia, Burgas, and the race to host Eurovision 2027. Bulgaria gained a historic win with its first ever Eurovision victory.

Presence / Greece

And how it felt to be there I felt drained enough from work to crave beauty and relaxation – the kind of thirst only a vacationless summer causes. I never went to Sithonia before going for a total of 12 days this summer, all being workation, so my perspective here is very practical – the […]

Pulse / Bulgaria, Eurovision

Bulgaria’s entry Bangaranga, performed by DARA, just won Eurovision 2026 in Vienna and we are living in the Bangaranga now. It marks quite a few milestones and firsts – it has the biggest winning margin in points ever; it’s the first winner since 2017 to win both the jury and the televote. But most importantly, […]
