It is not hard to see what’s good about one's own motherland. However, it is a great challenge to go to a country that you are completely unfamiliar with. We will find out about it most easily by asking foreigners why they have opted for Bulgaria and what has made them fall in love with it. We meet with Awo M’brou, born in Ghana’s capital Accra where she spent her childhood. At the age of 7 she went to Britain together with her parents and there she finished high school and graduated from a college. She was a volunteer with a charity foundation for a while and later on the girl decided to study medicine. Awo tells us exactly why Bulgaria was her choice.

Now Awo studies first year in Plovdiv’s Medical University. After her graduation she doesn’t intend to stay just at one place. She won’t stop traveling around the world, visiting other countries. She might even return to Africa, but the main thing is to continue to broaden her horizons.

Awo still doesn’t have her own favorite place, but this is due to the fact that she has not so much free time due to her university studies. Whenever she gets the chance to travel around Bulgaria, she would like to visit the seaside and do some sightseeing in Varna.

When she graduates from the university and goes away, Awo knows that someday she will get back to Bulgaria, because she has spent a part of her life here, making new friends and remembering the country with and for good.
