Hello, I am Vania, a certified tour guide based in Sofia, Bulgaria, and the creator behind TRIPSTOTAKE, a platform dedicated to authentic travel experiences across Bulgaria.

After graduating with a BA in tourism, I became a certified guide, and since 2018, I've led tours throughout Sofia, Plovdiv, and other Bulgarian towns. Creating self-guided audio tours allows me to share Bulgaria’s vast historical and cultural heritage with a global audience.

My approach blends storytelling with slow, sustainable travel. Taking time to connect with local communities, uncover lesser-known stories and locations, and create lasting memories. Beyond my audio tours on VoiceMap, I lead private walking tours, design custom tour itineraries, organize corporate events and team buildings, curate wine-tasting experiences, and offer consultancy on tour program optimization.

Whether you're exploring Sofia's golden streets through my self-guided audio tours on VoiceMap or joining me for a private walking tour, wine-tasting experience, or bespoke adventure, my mission is to share authentic Bulgarian stories and help you discover the real Bulgaria.
