A leap into the unknown Italy

Hello, my name is Alice Velkova! I am 26 years old, zodiac traveler! Today I will tell one of the most intimate moments in my life. I live for traveling! This is my medicine and this make me happy. I am originally from Sofia, the capital of the Republic Bulgaria. A very beautiful place that I advise you to visit! He have Black sea, mountains, roses, rakia and shopska salad. In 2018, my boyfriend Kaloyan and two other couples - Alexandra and Denislav, Georgi and Christina, made a three day trip to the capital of Italy - Rome. We all eagerly awaited our flight on December 15th. Alexandra, Christina and Kaloyan were flying for the first time, and we were scattered in different places on the plane. During the flight, Denislav fell to his knees and proposed marriage to Alexandra. Only I was able to see because I was closest to them. After arriving in Rome, it was an early flight and our hotel was not ready, so we decided to take a walk in the center. During this time, Kaloyan became a little nervous and near to a beautiful fountain, he fell to his knees and propose to me. I cried from happiness. Of course I said yes. We have been together since January 2015. So we and our friend couple got engaged at one day – they on the plane and we in Rome. It was amazing and unexpectedly. This marked a new beginning in our relationship. In Rome, we walked down small streets, walked in interesting places, caught one direction and walked until we got somewhere. Although we had the opportunity to explore the city very well before our trip, but we indulged in adventurous exploration and were fascinated by its history and architecture. We ate Italian ice-cream, we ate a lot of things for first time. In addition to enjoying traditional Italian cuisine, we also found ourselves in a Peruvian restaurant that provided us with a variety of flavors. We went to Vatican, a magnificent view... unfortunately we didn't see the pope, but in my country i saw it twice. Now a year later, both couples are happily married. Aleksandra and Denislav have a very cute baby.
