Overview
About Me
I'm a writer, poet and playwright. I have published 6 books and had some theater productions in Bulgaria and in New York. I have been to a lot of festivals and workshops in other countries.
I also like taking pictures and I already made two exhibitions.
I am playing guitar and I do make gigs in clubs and in pubs, so if you have guitar, can make a jam session.
I like movies and just acted in one, that happen to be selected at Tokyo International Film Festival in the main competition.
I love cooking.
I studied Literature and Antropology, so I like to talk with people and to share good stories.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I like to travel in a more deep way than most of the people. I can sleep in hotels, hostels, camp places. But it is way more interesting to stay in the house of someone, who is living it the country. By staying at local person you are can feel more deep how do the people f the country live, And you can find local places. If you travel the usual way most of the times you can see only the touristic places, or what you can find in guides or on the internet.
