Balkan lover, currently trying to learn a bit more about the region doing a Master on Balkan Studies at the University of Belgrade.

Curious (maybe too much sometimes, just feel free to stop me if I get so inquisitive), open-minded, talkative but aware that silence is also great from time to time. Coffeeholic, wine lover.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I guess Couchsurfing is a great invention, especially for those who want to go beyond the tourist tag to become true travelers, or at least to enjoy the experience from time to time. I truly believe that human nature is good and that you can find amazing people everywhere. Let's find out if I'm right or just too optimistic!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visiting Buzludzha monument, the former headquarters of the Bulgarian Communist Party (actually, a sort of spaceship building, completely abandoned and with amazing views to almost the whole Bulgarian landscape).

Visiting the self-proclaimed Republic of Transnistria in one of its big days, the Victory Day (9th of May) and covering its military parade for a media outlet.

Attending the celebrations of the 10th Anniversary of Independence of the Republic of Kosovo in Prishtina.
