About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to make my dog obey the "come here" command

ABOUT ME

I live with my beagle dog and we go to work together at Guliver Photos, where I sell images to the local media and he mostly barks and tries to steal food from my coworkers.I enjoy going to concerts and music festivals, art exhibitions, theatrical plays... I also love the cinema, I majored in cinema history and aesthetics, but I hate the sound of people eating popcorn around me so I mostly go to cinema festivals and the rest of the time I watch films at home.

PHILOSOPHY

"Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in a small one room apartment so I can't host regularly - couldn't offer any privacy to my guests or me. But if you feel that our profiles match, send me a request and hopefully the timing will be ok for me to host you.And it goes without saying that everyone who's ever hosted me and their friends can have my place anytime.P.S. Unlike most people I won't ask you to cook, I hate using my stove. I'd rather bring you to one of the affordable but nice restaurants Sofia has to offer. But if you insist to cook, please keep it non smelly as my kitchen is basically the same as my bedroom.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed around Australia and New Zealand and it was totally awesome!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like discovering new music. Can not listen to the same old stuff over and over again. Electropop, synthpop, indie electronica are favorite styles but it's hard to put any frames to what I listen to.
Music is very important to me, here's just a few of the many bands that I like:
Empire of the sun, The shoes, Whomadewho, Digitalism, Mystery Jets, Trentemøller, Apparat, The Naked And Famous, Pacific!, Miami Horror, Caribou, Phoenix, Tame Impala, Metronomy, Grimes, Clock Opera (I'll stop here as this could take forever).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I cleaned an African beach once all day at 40°C. It was on a private island with a hotel owned by a french guy. I had an argument with him for not keeping the beach clean and yelled at him and showed him the finger. This is really not how I usually behave, especially with strangers but this guy was impossibly obnoxious.
Amazing thing I've seen: the Nicolas Jaar concert at the Central Presbyterian Church of Austin, Texas during SXSW 2012. It blew my mind.

Teach, Learn, Share

Ummm... I know some pretty cool knots from sailing class. But please don't ask me to cook, I have zero experience in cooking.
