I'm a curious, adventurous person who is always looking to meet new people and learn new things! Originally from Bulgaria, grew up in Chicago, now in the Bay Area for work...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people locally for now, to facilitate more interesting international travel eventually

Interests

Quite an avid outdoorsman...I love being outdoors with other adventurous and pleasant people! Hiking, camping, fishing, dirt biking, backcountry exploration (by foot or vehicle)...mountains and nature energize me

Aside from the outdoors, I also love exploring urban areas as well! I love discovering awesome architecture, as well as just cool places in general...plenty of that in San Francisco!

Mechanical engineer by profession, I love building and fixing things. Cars, motorcycles, bicycles...all mechanical hobbies that keep me constantly entertained!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - I have a quite diverse taste in music...pretty much will listen to anything! Particularly fond of folk music, classic rock, country (especially old school country), bluegrass, house, various other 'electronic' genres

Movies - comedy, action, don't watch too many movies or TV really

Books - I wish I could say I read more but I unfortunately don't get around it very often...usually self-improvement or stories about exploration if I do ever pick up a book
