North Macedonia and Bulgaria
Secrets are revealed - a country attempting to recreate their identity, North Macedonia has experienced more than a name change. We discover a city of statues, where west meets east and uncover a forgotten past that lays dormant on the lake bed. My story ends in Bulgaria, where I go beyond the boozy beach trips of Sunny Beach to see the true identity of the Balkans.
