Boosting Tourism, One Goat at a Time


In an effort to boost tourism within the region, the municipality has created a tourist information center, ten new hiking trails, and has posted trail markers and signs around the town and surrounding area. While this is all well intentioned and productive, the problem remains that we have done very little to promote these trails to the rest of Bulgaria and Europe. Therefore, I have taken it upon myself to create a series of aesthetically pleasing advertisements to promote the town. Above are a few which I have created.

As for me, things remain the same. I play football with orphans, basketball with my high school friends, go hiking with scouts, dance with middle aged ladies, play cards with old military men, and read on my balcony with the sweet sounds of Elliott Smith playing in the background. As you can tell, I have no qualms with the small-town life.
