About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To help people in their inner journey towards self-discovery, self-improvement and healing trauma. Greater purpose - healing abuse and human trafficking survivors, children incl.

ABOUT ME

I am an artistic person following the flow of creative energy. I love long walks, new music and experimenting. An extreme sports newbie. I often look for my fears on purpose and face them. As a part of my professional path I do tarot and dream readings. I lead programs for unblocking and boosting creative energy and processes, as well as groups for women empowerment and abuse recovery as a survivor myself.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in the universal balance. (as in The Longest Journey trilogy)
"Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead." - Charles Bukowski

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travel occasionally, I hope it's a lot more in the future. I was raised by Rotarians and humanitarians and I have been a volunteer working in international environment for 14 years (Youth Red Cross, Interact, Rotaract, AIESEC, diplomacy clubs), so it is my blood to be opened for travelling, hosting, storytelling and cultural exchange.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed once in Amsterdam and I'm very happy with my experience. After many years I am finally able to host in Varna.

Interests

Arts - theater, music, books, dance, concerts, stand-up comedy.
Peforming - writing, singing, dancing, acting.

Music: Very diverse and chaotic. I feel very connected to music, it allows me to dive deep in all states and emotions and brings me inspiration. Thank God for Spotify's Discover Weekly. Morcheeba are keeping me peaceful. Classics like Vivaldi and Shostakovitch inspire me to write. Rock and metal music make me do wild stuff. I enjoy listening and singing music in different languages, as well as going to rave, electro and dance parties...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen the Aurora lights and spoken with Santa. I climbed the Sharyn Canyon in Kazakhstan despite my greatest fear of heights. I survived through domestic and sexual abuse and made peace with my greatest abuser, setting myself free of a 20-year-old trauma.
