About Me

CURRENT MISSION
To explore the world authentically, experiencing life through the eyes of the locals and embracing every culture without filters. To see the real picture.

ABOUT ME
Hi there! I’m a kind, friendly, and open-minded person who believes that every day is an opportunity to learn something new and make life even more exciting. I absolutely love traveling—it’s my passion and a huge part of who I am. Nearly every weekend, I set off on adventures, discovering new places, meeting amazing people, and creating unforgettable memories.

I’m also a tour guide! I enjoy showing people the beauty of cities and nature, often leading hikes in the mountains or exploring hidden gems. In the past, I hitchhiked extensively, which taught me that the most beautiful aspect of any journey is the people you meet. Through their stories, traditions, and way of life, you get to truly experience the world—not as a tourist, but as a participant in their reality.

For me, the soul of a city is not its buildings or monuments but the people who bring it to life. That’s why I love Couchsurfing—it’s a way to connect with incredible individuals, share experiences, and see the world from a fresh perspective. Whether I’m hosting or being hosted, I cherish the opportunity to exchange stories, learn about other cultures, and form friendships that transcend borders.

Let’s make travel more vibrant, alive, and meaningful together! 😊

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted a lot in 2010-2011, but then I went travelling. and then I lived in places where I can't host. And that's why I didn't participate in life in CS. And now from 2023 again appeared the opportunity to receive guests and decided to return back to CS and again receive friends and go to someone to visit.

The whole world is very amazing! and you can see amazing things in everything, like in interactions of people, nature and how your life line comes together... yes the world is an amazing ‘thing’.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- From 2006 to 2014, I hitchhiked. Every year I would leave for a month and travel to the closest countries. Once I left and was traveling for 6 months. In all that time, I hitchhiked 40,000 kilometers, a distance long enough to circle the Earth along the equator.
- I once learned Pi to the 1,000th digit.
- I often go to the mountains. But so far the highest peak I have climbed was Musala (Bulgaria) 2925 meters.
- I climbed to the top of Olympus, but I never saw the Greek gods there.
- In 2023 Google gave me the statistics that I have walked and traveled 30,421 km. which is equal to 76% of Around the World.
