0:09.9	Enjoy the show. This happened to me almost two years ago, and I still get anxious thinking back about what happened in the summer of 2023.
0:48.5	It was the year I experienced my first success with my online business, which allowed me to start traveling in
0:55.7	Europe while working and saving for my dream of buying farmland.
1:01.6	2023 started amazingly. I lived a few months in Malta, then in Budapest, visiting friends
1:08.8	who were studying abroad. I'm originally from Germany. I'm 32.

2:16.4	enjoying the trip until one particular night. I was out with Ben and many of his university friends. We partied all night, had a bunch of drinks, and danced for hours. We were just enjoying ourselves during this wonderful summer night. Since we had been out and about during the day
2:35.5	before we started to party, I was feeling tired and decided to head home. I should quickly
2:41.8	mention the layout of the city. It's quite unique. Varna has a beach along its entire length,
