Hey guys, I’m Nasko! I was born in Sofia, I'm a tour guide by soul. After decades in the food industry, including 19 years in Bulgaria and 5 years with Tara abroad, I finally decided to follow my passion. I’m a sea lover, a car fan, and a lifelong traveler. For me, there’s nothing better than showing people the hidden gems of Bulgaria. I’m a family man and a father of two, always looking forward to the next adventure. Let's explore together!
