When my grandma found out that I extended my travels in Asia more and more she named me Svenia after the famous Asia explorer Sven Hedin.
This is the name I use in here, too, to share my travels and experiences with you. To see the pictures I am taking wherever I go, have a look at sveniasphotos.tumblr.com 🌍😉

⋆♱✮♱⋆ The Vampire of Sozopol ⋆♱✮♱⋆
Recently the remains of a sceleton with an iron bar pierced through the heart were excavated. This might have been the cruel nobleman Krivich, stabbed by the locals to make sure he wouldn't come back to haunt the town after his death. All over Bulgaria, there are more than 100 medieval funerals with wood or iron bars to the heart to make sure the dead will not come back as a vampire.

Созопол
Sozopol is an ancient seaside town on the southern Bulgarian Black Sea Coast with the first settlements dating back to the Bronze Age. Founded in the 7th century BC by Greek colonists, the town soon became a flourishing trade centre. In 610 BCE, the inhabitants of Milet, a city in Asia Minor, made the Sozopol peninsula their city-state and called it Apolloniya. The name was in honor of Apollo and two healers' temples were errected in his name.
Originally Sozopol was on an islet, but is now connected to the mainland by a narrow strip of land. Over the centuries the area was ruled by the Byzantines, Bulgarians and Ottomans and finally assigned to newly independent Bulgaria in the 19th century.
Houses in the Old Town are dominantly built of stone and wood in the traditional so-called Black Sea school of architecture. Thanks to its narrow cobbled streets and venerable old houses it's a very pleasant walk and a little time-travel at the same time.
