Half-Bulgarian, half-Russian. Studied linguistics but ended up working as a fraud analyst for an online poker platform. Been living in Sofia since 2018. I'm an avid walker and my go-to 'meditation' technique is what I like to call city hiking: put on a comfy pair of shoes and just walk for hours, trying new routes as much as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always try to see the locations I visit through the eyes of a local, so living with one definitely helps. I have never been to a hotel abroad, it always was either surfing or staying at a dormitory, and I've met so many amazing folks along the way. Nothing brings people together quite like a shared experience.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I always bring local snacks or trinkets when I travel, so I hope you like rose-scented things. :D And I'm willing to cook together if that's something you'd like.
