Andrej Paskalov is a psychologist with a penchant for writing and a love of travel.

Up until his teens, Andrej had barely traveled outside his home country of Macedonia. After moving to Bulgaria for university, he got a taste for the outdoors and decided to pursue writing to fund his new hobby.

In 2021, he went on a fateful youth exchange to a quaint French village, and he's been collecting passport stamps ever since. Not even two weeks after the trip, he got on another plane bound for Lyon, and that was only the beginning. He traveled every summer and winter, and whenever he could snag a few days off on state holidays.

He spent the next year and some change visiting all the ex-Yugoslav countries, and he threw in two weeks in Turkey and another three in Greece for good measure. Not long after that, he greeted the Christmas holidays in 2023 with a glass of mulled wine in Poland.

His favorite trip ever was to Cyprus, where he got to volunteer for 3 weeks. In that time, every moment not spent working was dedicated to exploring the island top to bottom. To him, the view from Capo Greco is the most beautiful he's ever seen.

Although he has far less travel time than he used to as a student, Andrej's heart and mind are always on the road. Writing about his travels lets him reexperience a lot of his favorite travel memories, and he's hoping to create even more.
