Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Create a video and photo documentary of my travels that I can share with friends.
ABOUT ME
I love to travel and to relax all the same. I've spent the last 11 years mostly away from home because I was studying and then working in the states and I am now coming back to Bulgaria but will probably be traveling quite often. I am into filming and photography. I LOVE playing beach volleyball. I am not a fan of living in big cities even though they are fun to visit - I prefer nature. I love the unpredictability associated with traveling because it is all to easy to let my own daily life become quite predictable otherwise.
I have a low threshold of excitement so I tend to have a great time enjoying simple things :)
Like most people, I like hanging out with people with a sense of humor and hope that I have a sense of humor myself.
PHILOSOPHY
I want to learn as much as possible about life without trying to get a recipe for living.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Actually one of my most amazing experiences came from seeing an object millions of years old. I spent a full hour at least just staring at the T-rex skeleton in the museum in Museum of natural history in DC. I didn't expect that would be such an experience but I realized you just can't get a proper perspective for some things without seeing them first hand.
Teach, Learn, Share
I am able to teach a little about photography and video filming and editing.
