About Me

Hello!:)

I am Borya, a contemporary jewellery designer and maker. I'm a creative adventurer! I draw inspiration from travelling to different places and often take the roads less traveled.

I am inspired by nature, by our human creative expressions and by being joyful. I love movement, dancing, music, reading... I love meeting new people and sharing experiences and stories over a cup of coffee, tea or beer XD

If you visit the town I currently live in - Sofia, Bulgaria - I will tell you about the secret places - the best beer shops and bars, the more hidden paths to breathtaking natural sights.

If you wish I can you map out your stay in Bulgaria so you have an experience to remember and to be sure you don't miss out on the things you're most looking forward to seeing and feeling:)

Don't hesitate to write! I work most days, but in a somewhat flexible way, so f I have the ability, I'll be happy to meet you!

See ya soon! Mwah<3

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Not only am I inspired to meet new people who visit the city I live in, but I also travel a lot.

I feel like staying with people who live where I'm going, because they know all the best places to visit and all the secret spots to see :D

Also, it is way more like visiting friends - makes the world a much sweeter and cozy place :D

Music, Movies, and Books

Such a hard question! :D
Generally....funk, jazz, bossa nova, world music, ragga... Movie music, violins.... Wow, I could write a book, so just try me with anything, I love discovering new stuff.

Books: sci-fi (Clifford Simak is my favorite ), Haruki Murakami's 'Kafka on the Shore' , 'The Count Of Monte Cristo', Jane Austen.... this one's even harder, I guess :D

Movies.... I'm not even gonna start! I love movies and TV series super much so I probably saw most of the mainstream ones and probably a lot of the weird ones as well :)
