And yet she will run
6 June 2019
In sport even a second of difference is important. And how about a lead of a few centuries? The only way to overcome it is with a serious battle for rights, as proven by the struggle of women who have been allowed to run in marathons for only about 50 years. A few days before Bioderma's Women Run on June 22nd, it's worth remembering the story of the movement that started in 1896 with the first woman who was refused to register at the Olympics. - .

On the other side of the bar: Nikolay Neykov
16 May 2019
Four friends enter a bar ... Instead of a hilarious joke, what comes next is the mistake we most often make when ordering a cocktail: "That you do it rarely and at the wrong places", says Nicky Neykov - a top bartender who once competed for World Class Bartender of the Year and is now a World Class brand ambassador that prepares us for the upcoming World Class Cocktail Month. -
Days of pride
16 May 2019
"Do not give power to hatred, give power to love." With this message on June 8, the Sofia Pride Parade passes through the city, but a lot of other events are happening around it. They put out documentary films with strong stories, highlight the political meaning of the movement, or invite us to an exhibition and sports field to see the different faces of the issue - see more on the Facebook event page. -

To learn something new and to remember the old and well-forgotten is the goal of the 9th Sofia Science Festival which invites more than 100 Bulgarian and foreign scientists from different spheres to Sofia Tech Park. From the seabed to the cosmic black holes; from dinosaurs and the first lond-distance travelers to the latest innovations in technology and science, there is something for every age and interest in the 4-day program of lectures, screenings, workshops, demos, exhibitions, and even stand-ups. -

Being yoga
14 March 2019
"I'm not interested in practicing yoga. I want to be yoga" is written on one of the walls of the new 2Health Hub. Today we come in to see this place's recipe for being yoga - our guide is Iveta Filipova, herself a yoga instructor, yoga app developer and holistic coach. She shows us the place, inspired by Japanese zen, and talkes us through the program (which is at 2healthub.com). -

Imagine the route you are driving every day, but today in your way there is a high wall, and it is impossible to cross the street. You are looking for an alternative option, but you also stand in front of concrete and you are stuck, and in order to survive you have to go over the other side. -
Techno detectives
14 February 2019
Under clear skies we never think about this category of technologies, but that's the right time to do so. Instead of panic, the cases of "I lost something, help!" are cleared out by several clever heads. We're talking about the various anti-theft technologies: bluetooth trackers for your bike, wallet or ever cat; mobile apps that will protect your phone or help you find it; and even backpacks with clever zippers that will not let you down. -
A Rainbow of Stories
7 February 2019
text Violeta Ivanova photos Sevda Semer
"I knew that I felt attracted to men but I didn’t have that word to describe it until I was 14-15 years old", remembers Florin Buhuceanu, an LGBTI rights activist since the 90s. He's from Romania - a country that is so similar to ours but did you know that, while we decriminalize homosexuality in 1968, Romanians stop throwing people in jail for it in 2001? Many other parts of Florin's story turn our idea of his country around and that's one of the things that brought us to Cedric and Aline Feito - the gay twins who travel the world to collect personal LGBTI stories like Florin's as part of their project PAINT. -
Time to go to bed
10 January 2019
As much as you'd like to, you'd never get a medal for "I don't speak before my first cup of coffee" or "I've not slept enough". Actually, in the epidemics of insufficient sleep (a problem for nearly every second person), the only people who win are the ones who know how important sleep is - and why they need to focus on getting it. Between podcasts that get you to sleep, gently spraying lavender on your pillow in order to relax, and blue light filters for your phone, do you know which of those will actually work? Time to get serious about going to bed. -

Under world
4 October 2018
"Dark, and dusty, and dirty, and scary". Kind of paradoxical that this is a line out of a song with the name of Sofia, my love, no?
