My mission is to become a better man. Maybe the better man can then help make a better world. I believe that if you never run out of stories to tell your eventual grand kids, you've done well.

I prefer being sober outside to being drunk inside. I love rain, the mist in the mountains at sunrise, black coffee, smoky jazz bars, abstract games, abstract people. You'll know me when you see me - I'm the short bearded Bulgarian playing air drums to the music in his headphones. Come say hi!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to become more creative, wiser and know more about the world. So I figure offering what I already have can help me learn more too!

Whenever I'm home my couch is open to surfers. I can offer a quick tour of the city, a hike in the mountains and whatever piece of Bulgarian cuisine I manage to not burn.

If you host me, I can offer to share some stories, talk adventure or music or philosophy, or lend a hand with some physical labour.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed a few times around Europe and in Morocco. I've hosted a few chill people too. Not a bad experience to date!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once ended up alone in a tiny Belgian town where nobody I met spoke English. An hour later I was in the pub playing a broken piano to a room full of old folks who proceeded to get me drinks and Belgian waffles. I can only hope it was cause I was being entertaining and not because they really wanted me to stop.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn anything you can throw my way! Here's what I can share with you:

-The city of Sofia and its little secrets;
-Bulgarian cuisine (which I'm pretty terrible at);
-Hitch-hiking wisdom;
