About Me

At my best, I am a nice, cheeky, curious, adventurous, friendly, outgoing, energetic, expressive, spontaneous, joyful and helpful young woman.

At my worst, I can be impatient, blunt and a bit stubborn. However, I usually save those special moments for my family members, as we do. ;) Fortunately, I am also very quick to apologise.

I believe in Love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people, of course.

Music, Movies, and Books

Could I answer this one quickly! OK, very quickly: The Arctic Monkeys are the Best! I also love swing and the 40's film music. Generally, I enjoy almost all music genres.

Books? Harry Potter all 7, The Catcher in the Rye, Quo Vadis, Atlas Shrugged, Oscar Wilde, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Krishnamurti and Osho's stuff, many others.

My all time favourite film must be Love Actually. It makes me smile a lot Every Single Time. I love Woody Allen's, Tim Burton's, Joe Wrights's, Quentin Tarantino's and Wes Anderson's films. Also British cinema and TV series.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming under a waterfall - truly a fantastic experience!

Living and working in a hostel in London for a year where I met so many fantastic people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning all sorts of both useful and useless things. I love learning itself!
I can teach you how to make paper snowflakes and share all the knowledge I have gathered about Bulgarian, British, Chinese and Swiss lifestyles and cultures.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can be very lovable and open even towards people I don't know well. I am also very easy to please because I'm practically truly grateful for every little thing people do for me and last: I am very very easy to smile. So I guess what I can share with my hosts is my warm, loving, grateful being and hope they're going to enjoy it.
