Stolipinovo, the Roma Mahla in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, is often viewed negatively. Local activist Georgi Kochev aims to change perceptions through guided tours that showcase the area’s culture and traditions.

The tours, inspired by American content creator Drew Binsky’s visit, highlight the unique experiences and vibrant life of the Roma community, challenging stereotypes.

Kochev envisions a future for Stolipinovo with improved living conditions and green spaces, emphasizing the importance of community support and positive change.
