On this week’s Sustainability Now!, your host, Justin Mog, continues his series of conversations with fellow Kentuckians who have served their country and the world in the U.S. Peace Corps. Today we hear from Patrick Erdley, a Louisville native who served in Bulgaria as a Youth Development Volunteer from 2006-2008. He fell in love with Bulgaria and a Bulgarian and returned to the country from 2009-2012. During that time he co-wrote Bulgaria - Other Places Travel Guide (https://books.google.com/books/about/Bulgaria_Other_Places_Travel_Guide.html?id=fQ8vWih-rqwC) and he also wrote a blog about riding public transportation in the Bulgarian capital, Sofia (https://sofiapublictransport.wordpress.com/). After returning to the U.S. and the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act, Patrick was able to sponsor his fiancé Todor to come to the US. He was the first Bulgarian to be sponsored for a K1 visa to the US in a same sex relationship. Now Patrick is back in Louisville working as the Program Engagement Manager for Big Brothers, Big Sisters (http://bbbsky.org).
