Hey there, I am Ivo! I can describe myself as a positive and open-minded person. I really like travelling and meeting people in the places I visit.

In my free time I like to play the guitar make music on Garage Band and improvise. I also do different kinds of sports, mostly running, cycling, climbing and basket.

In Denmark, I started attending a Bulgarian dances class, where I met my girlfriend Kali, who I live with. She is super sweet, very crafty and curious, interested in sustainable living, Asian cultures, and is now a much more regular climber than I am 😀

If you are about to request to stay, we have an indoor bouldering wall 5 minutes from our place, where we could go, no matter if it's gonna be your first time, or you are going to teach us how it's done 😀 at that place we can also play indoors basket.

Apart from that, we really like cooking, we rarely go to restaurants, so it will be great if we cook together. We enjoy a lot gathering culinary ideas from fellow travelers, experimenting and trying new things :)

When you send a request to stay at our place, please give as much information about yourself and your trip as possible. I like personal requests where people share what makes them want to stay with us. That makes us feel super excited about hosting you! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really enjoy exploring new cultures and I definitely think that the best way to do that is to meet locals. That is why I like to meet and listen to people, as we all have unique stories to tell and the pleasure from a trip is 100 times more if there is someone to share it with!
