The Bulgarian Ambassador's Blog
Greetings to everyone reading this introduction!
I am Ivo Dimitrov and I have been involved in World News as a writer and editor since my freshman year (I’m now a junior). I was born in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, and I study Spanish (philology) and history at Willamette.
I enjoy competitive debate, Konditorei (excellent pastries), tutoring, recess at Bush Elementary, socio-cultural history, volleyball, ping-pong, and badminton. I design websites for charity organizations and student groups for free, so you should contact me if you can use my services.
I am interested in seeing how history (past and present) is reflected in the national narrative and behaviour of people. What are our national and cultural myths? Why do we hold certain concepts to be sacred? Why do we pursue or flee our past?
I am dedicated to informing people about my native country, since its rich history and gorgeous nature make it a very attractive destination. Now, in the process of transition, Bulgaria is a truly exciting place of change. Interested to know more? Talk to me and visit my website:

I look forward to informing you on what happens in my country and hearing your thoughts on it!
