About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

ABOUT ME

Hello to everyone!

I am an active and positive person and I like meeting open-minded people who are ready for adventures and happenings without too much thinking. :)

I am Bulgarian, originally from the Black Sea Coast, but right now I live in Brussels. I moved here because of my job.

My mission is exploring the world through the eyes of others.

Peace!
;)

PHILOSOPHY

The good life is not about looking good, feeling good and having the goods. It is about being good and doing good. Significance in life does not come from status, wage or possessions because you are always about to find somebody who has got more than you. It comes from finding a valuable meaning through which you contribute for a better society.

Interests

Philosophy and non-governmental organizations

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: "East of Eden", "A Night in Lisbon", "100 years of loneliness", "The old man and the sea", "De Profundis".
I love Steinbeck, Mark Twain, Gabriel Garcia Markes, Hemingway, Oscar Wilde and hundreds of other geniuses who have given something substantial and significant to mankind.
Movie: "The Butterfly Effect"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A couple of years ago, I participated into a Guiness Trial for improving the world record for Ballon Fight (full with water).
The fight took place in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. It was between 150 people, fighting with 26 000 ballons and me in the middle. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy meeting all kinds of people. Everybody has his own story from which I learn.
