It’s a few years since I was in Sofia, I didn’t punt there, was meeting a local bird, but I’m surprised in the negative report, the strip clubs were fairly priced drink wise, and a takeaway was about 100€ For a short time, the local women seemed fairly friendly, and many dress in the Balkan hooker chic popular with the folk-pop music scene, I’d be surprised if Sofia was as hard as Budapest to punt, yes maybe English isn’t so well known with local hookers, something like google translate might help, as long as the photos aren’t bait & switch, and you get services advertised, maybe dating apps like tinder or similar or SA might be the way to go, there must be some cute college students needing a bit of extra cash.
