ABOUT ME

Hi! My name's Galina. Ana is for short. I come from a small town in Bulgaria called Smolyan. It's a very beautiful place. You should definitely visit it if you have a chance.

I love meeting new people and getting to know different cultures. I'm a very relaxed person. A good listener and sometimes I think listening is more important than talking, because that way you get to be a good observer and appreciate things better.

PHILOSOPHY

I remember an old Indian saying: Everything will be alright in the end. If it's not alright, than it's not the end.
I try to stay positive about life and the problems that may happen along the way. I believe that everything is focused in one's mind. The key to unlocking good things in life is this one person's willing.

"So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun."

"the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars."

Interests

I'm involved in the local lyceum, I play piano and often I participate in concerts. I also enjoy singing even though I gave up the lessons four or five years ago. My other interests revolve around writing, reading all the different books that I can find, watching alternative movies with creative plots, drawing insane doodles and of course, travelling above all.

Music, Movies, and Books

Bookworm, what else can I say? Have no excuses. So let's say Stephen King. He is a wonderful storyteller. And Arthur Conan Doyle, George R. R. Martin, Gabriel Garci­a Marquez, Dimiter Dimov, Patrick Ness, Ernest Hemingway, Tolstoy and etc.

I like all kinds of music, it depends on my current mood. I love old music, Nirvana and I prefer the diversity in styles. Kings of Leon, Arctic monkeys (who doesn't love them?!), The black keys, Jimi Hendricks, Rammstein, Soundgarden, Angus and Julia Stone, Ed Sheeran (pretty obvious), Bjork...

I'm convinced that the plot and the main characters are the main thing in a movie that can intrigue you. So, Shutter Island, Inception, Into the wild, Doctor Who, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Fight Club, Game of thrones, Dead Poets Society, The art of getting by and etc. And like many others, my one true love lies with Tim Burton.
