About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be the person that's missing in the world.

ABOUT ME

I am Bulgarian and have been residing in Scotland for the past six years. I was able to have some amazing experiences along the way: I switched careers, completed two masters, got myself deep into coffee, even deeper into software development and traveled a couple of countries along the way.

I love the thrill and freedom of being on the road. It bounds you to the moment, no past, no tomorrow - just you and wherever you are going.

People see me as a cheerful, honest and open person. I enjoy making friends and have a great knack for telling stories and more importantly living them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted when I was living Aberdeen and I have surfed in Scotland, Serbia and Germany. I love the couch-surfing community because it filters itself and allows to meet people which otherwise would take much longer to find: honest, loving-life, eager to learn and to grow.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had some really good stories, but my favorite is that I met one of my best friends through the community. We are worlds apart, we still keep in touch on a regular basis and I am thankful everyday for the awesome people which come through the website.

Interests

- Technology
- Obstacle Course Racing
- Travel (yeah I know)
- Personal Development
- People With Unusual Backgrounds
- Coffee
- Irrational Human Behaviour

It will be too much if I list everything. Ask me when we meet.

Music, Movies, and Books

Although my interests in books, music and movies are too many to list I would share the one ones I have been going back to over and over throughout the years.

Movies: The Shawshank Redemption, Gladiator, Fight Club, Love Actually, Friends.

Books: Terry Pratchett - The Discworld Series, Lord of The Rings, Song of Ice and Fire series, The Dark Tower Series, Stephen King - any Book, Atlas Shrugged, East Of Eden, Losing My Virginity - R. Branson, The 4 Hour Workweek.

Music: My musical tastes are wide but I believe my core styles would be almost all types of rock with favourites such as AC/DC, Aerosmith, Guns n Roses. I love punk and its variations where my favourites are Hot Water Music, Alkaline Trio, Rise Against, The Gaslight Anthem, Dropkick Murphys, SKA-P, Reel Big Fish and many others. I love Balkan brass music such as Goran Bregovic, Boban Markovic and Bojan Ristic.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I celebrate my birthday in a different country each year. 8 years in a row and counting :)

Guca, Guca, Guca!

I have flown with a balloon in Kapadokya and it was BEAUTIFUL.
