As human beings, we’re naturally inclined to take care of ourselves and our immediate family. This is the center of our circles of concern.

As Stoics, of course, we believe we can extend our sense of care and belonging (oikeiosis) to also include our community, country, and the rest of the world.

I believe travel is one of the best ways to practice oikeiosis.

This is why I’m sharing part of an interview I did on my podcast Live Without Borders. I’m speaking with my friend Zlatina, a Bulgarian native on the expansive power of travel.

Head over to the Live Without Borders podcast to listen to the whole episode – including Zlatina’s best travel advice on her home country.

Zlatina and I love Bulgaria so much that we’re hosting a very special travel experience for you May 15-21, 2024.

Join the waitlist ASAP.

We’re keeping this trip very small – max 10 travelers. When you're on the waitlist, you get first priority to come and access to our early-bird rate.

We’ll announce the full itinerary to the waitlist in the next two weeks, so register your interest in the Bulgaria trip now so you don’t miss out.

Meanwhile, you can listen to my Live Without Borders interview with Zlatina to learn more about the breathtaking sites you’ll see in Plovdiv and beyond.
