Armenia 03 – 07.05.2023

In February, I heard that Wizz Air launched direct flights from Sofia to Yerevan. I’ve been coming across and enjoying reading Armenian authors for years, so I thought it would be cool to go to the place that inspired their stories. The first round-trip flight I saw cost 200...

May in Latvia
