Well, COVID-19 made us realize a lot of things.
One of them was to enjoy, appreciate and visit the tourist sites and nature around us.
How lucky I feel to come from a country so small that many people don’t know much of, but at the same time so rich in history and natural beauties.
I am a sea junkie. Just being close to the water helps me rewind, reflect and even forget… The sea really cures the soul and the mind.
So naturally I jumped at the first opportunity to change my flat in the city with one closer to my true belonging – the seacoast.

Our family flat in Varna is some 20 minutes away from the nearest beach and to my surprise now there is a bike lane starting almost literally in front of my door.
There is nothing better than switching off from endless Zoom calls and looking at the walls of the flat to just enjoying the view of the beach.

On warmer days, it is even quite surprisingly productive to find a spot (still devoid of tourists) and combine your lunch break with an hour or two of office work with a view, feet buried in the sand.

Enjoy it while it lasts… Frankly, it will be so hard going back to the office and meeting thousands of people again.
I am still cringing at any attempt for hugs when I see someone I know in the street. And when I think that just before all this happened I was organizing a forum for over 600 people… Truly a different life that awaits us – extreme extroverts post-COVID-19.
