CURRENT MISSION

I have seen the world, so I am doing it again...

ABOUT ME

I have lived in 15 countries in my 33 odd years on all traditionally inhabited continents (Antarctica is still on the to-do-list). I am very curious about the world and I have embraced a somewhat nomadic lifestyle, keeping on the go all the time.

PHILOSOPHY

I sleep most comfortably in an airplane seat, feel most at home when I am somewhere new and I believe that The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is the best book ever written.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I joined CouchSurfing before I started my first South America trip in 2012, under the influence of a friend and I must say, it has been the most amazing experience and a fantastic way to meet great people. I spend less time on the road and more time at home in Sofia nowadays, and I do have a very centrally located couch. :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far, I have been graciously hosted in Buenos Aires, Punta Arenas, Puerto Natales and Santiago de Chile. And I got to meet many great people even though I did not surf their couches. More, still to come (I hope)!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
