The Travels of Päivi and Santeri

We wanted to escape the high season in the coastal Mediterranean Balkan states and so were asking around for suggestions where to go. Upon this mission, we got into contact with Portuguese Vicente on BeWelcome hospitality exchange, which is a free alternative for couchsurfing , and got interested in the place where he had been staying on and off for some years. The place is Kalna in Stara Planina Mountains that run from Serbia to Bulgaria.

Visiting a goat farm and learning how to make delicious goat cheese. Some forty years ago a group of people decided to return to nature and leave big cities, mainly Paris.

Mountain Boarding in Toulouse with Emma and Arnaud. Toulouse is a lovely and sunny city near the Pyrenees profiting from Southern France’s mild climate.

Visiting Cape Town and travelling around Winelands, Cape peninsula and Cape of Good Hope in South Africa.
