Христина (Hristina) in Europe's Oldest City | A Splash of Culture
Здрасти!
Meet Христина (Hristina). A graphic design student in the oldest city in Europe, Plovdiv. At 10 years old, Hristina left Banya along with her brother for her to go to art school. She’s been in Plovdiv since and is constantly inspired by the ancient artistry that surrounds her.
Listen in and find out what it was like for a 10-year-old to live in a house of university students, the misconceptions about Balkan life, art school and the Bulgaria Hristina grew up in vs the Bulgaria in Socialistic times.
Bulgaria was an extremely interesting hybrid between Western and Eastern ways of living. And Plovdiv, with a historical heritage of over 8000 years, is considered as a European cultural capital along with its pop-up street concerts, jazz jam sessions, movie bars, traditional dancing, buskers, museums, kick-ass walking tours and Bulgarian, Ottoman, Greek, Roman & Russian influence.
Did you know? The Bulgarian language is actually older than Russian !
