I envy that you have such job :) Well, at least to travel so often. My only travels (more and more scarce with the crisis in the automative market) were to the headquarters of my firm in Lyon, which provided me in a couple of occasions opportunities to visit the Chartreuse... but it was made while having not such small and challenging time as yours. Perhaps I'll write a TR about it some day to participate in the own list I created ! :)
You are young yet and can get a similar job at some international company. And you can get similar advantures! Anyway you shouldn't be so jelaous: since February I'm in a job that limits my travels only to central-eastern European countries (what is still OK, just poor in comparision with the earlier situation), and in less than a year I may lose this job, too. There are huge reorganizations at my company.
Ahd yes, I think it's a must that you add your own story to your own list :)
Yes, I know that there are much better things than Vitosha! I "did" Vihren at my age 14 and Maljovca at 17.
I'm thinking about going up to Vitosha early morning before the 8:30 start of work in the office. But 2 days ago I spoke with a girl from the Sofia office who loves hiking and offered me to have a hiking together onto Maljovica. I'm also a kind of peak-bagger, so I don't consider it to be the best idea to repeat Maljovica again, but still excited about it. Or we can find another summit - there are so many! One of the peaks that you posted on SP, or something else. Anyway, I think that about Mala Musala you forgot to mention that this peak was called "Georgi Dimitrov" during the red years
Just checked my TR - I did mention the other name of Malka Musala :) I wrote even more about it at the mountain page.
I forgot to write it before - I especially enjoyed reading about the exotic Philippino mountains from your story that not many Europeans get to visit :)
I'm really sorry - I was not enough careful with reading the page! And thanks for your compliments to my TR!
I was amazed about the brave performance on Grossglockner
If you thought there was quite a huge number of mountaineers in the Philippines back when you visited, you should see how many people go hiking here nowadays. I find your observation of folks with Deuter bags quite funny and sad because it's true, a lot of people here own expensive bags and other hiking stuff(my friend owns at least 3 hiking bags, one of them a Deuter) but when we hike, he's almost always at our tail and I'm not even fit. I saw you climbed a few more mountains here, since the boom of mountaineering here, a lot of mountains have been opened to the public for hiking. I hope you can visit again, you'll surely find more mountains to climb.
Hi, though I don't plan more visits to the Philippines, I try to follow up what is going on there. I noticed that not SummitPost but Peakery is the favourite site of mountaineers in the Philippines and there are many new logs there. Concerning the funny aspects of hiking stuff I still believe that it's funny. But whatever the "style" is, finally all ways of mountaineering is a good thing, so let's respect it! I wish you having more adventures! Best regards, Szani

Very interesting and enjoyable story...... and good summary of pros and cons at the beginning.
Szani, from Sofia you can try something more ambitious, I road-tested this option! :)

heheSounds familiar. I'm on my way to Philippines this weekend. Hoping to bag some peaks between flights.

Re: heheAnd of course you can bag some peaks in the Philippines, too. Doing it between flights is just the extra add on! ;)
