The short story of my life

I was born in Bulgaria back in the early 80's, and I saw the end of communism and the dawn of democracy. Even though I was a little boy, I actively participated in the demonstrations alongside my mom. A few years later, in the early 90's, we slowly started realizing that the so-called democracy won't bring us what we hoped for. Still, we had more freedom, and during my teenage years, I was able to express myself by dyeing my hair in differnet colors, dressing weirdly, and listening to electronic music.

A decade later, I found myself graduated from university, with a good job and a nice girlfriend. I thought that corporate life is the way to go, so I was dreaming of having a career as a marketer. But as it usually happens, things didn't go the way I wanted. The economic crisis came, I lost my job, and I brok up with my girlfriend. Maybe that was the first time I realized that there's nothing certain in life.

I looked for another job for little over a year before I decided to go study abroad. This is how I ended up in Denmark studying (again) marketing. I am not entirely sure what happened during those two years, but by the end of my studies I was fed up with everything - marketing, companies, corporate life, money, the system...

Two years later, I moved back to Bulgaria.

Travelling, having deep conversations, watching movies, going to theatre and being very critical about it, reading books, writing, drinking beer and wine, cooking and eating, taking sunbaths while listening to chill out music, playing poker..
I am currently obsessed with the notion of dialogue and how it could make the world a better place.
