Me and my husband Hristo promised each other that we would let our children into the world of travel. We would take them hiking and camping, and regular sight-seeing.

So far, we have one child, Boyan, who had travelled by bus, train, airplane and boat by the age of five months. He might not remember it later, but we have a video of him flying on a broom with his dad at the WB Studios. He's also such a cool kid.

I find crowded cities rather stressful and I like to explore them "off the beaten path". I find local shops or secluded parks a lot more exciting. I love taking pictures in those secret spots, or just sitting down with a book.

I consider myself an artist. And scenography is what I have been doing passionately in the recent years. I feel alive on the stage and the film set creating entertainment for others.

Hristo is a software developer, but he's passionate about photography and woodwork. And he has a degree in psychology. He's a caring and loving father and husband. Also, such a handyman - I find it so cool how he can fix almost anything be it electronics, piping, car related or anything that has to do with the house, And he's a great consultant in my work as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We want to improve our travelling experience by meeting the locals and making it more comfortable and cheaper. We think cs will help us feel less like regular tourists and more like friends of the places we visit.

Music, Movies, and Books

I can be in the mood for anything from classical music, through jazz, through hard rock and maybe some modern pop.
It really depends, but I choose my music wisely.

Wes Anderson, Emir Kusturitsa, Pedro Almodovar, Hayao Miyazaki, Tim Burton.
Those are the people about whose movies I always get excited. But there`s many more, really.

I think Ray Bradbury will be my all time favourite. But I love Douglas Adams non the less. I think on the top of my list are Orhan Pamuk, Gogol, Toove Janson, Wodehouse...

What I Can Share with Hosts
