Your guide
Meet Georgi
Local guide. Community activist. Storyteller.
My name is Georgi Kochev.
I grew up in Stolipinovo and come from a Roma family with generations of craftsmanship behind it.
For years I have participated in initiatives connected with my community, including youth activities and campaigns for a cleaner and more positive neighborhood.
I created StoliTours because I wanted people to discover the place I know — not only the version they may have heard about from the outside.
I want visitors to meet the people, hear their stories and experience Roma culture through genuine human connection.
StoliTours is my way of opening a door between communities.
