Overview
About Me
Again in Aussie for work and travel since September 2023 🤩 currently enjoying living in my car, happy to meet up, share a trip/hike/drink/whatever else is going on.
My last trip was 9 months through Central and South America visiting Costa Rica twice, Colombia, Chile, Argentina, Mexico and Guatemala. My biiiig dream was to explore and experience Patagonia and my new dream is going back and doing more of it! One of the most beautiful places on earth I've ever experienced :) Well, and all other mountains, volcanoes, forests, waters and whatever else nature has to offer are of great interest for me! I also especially loved the volcanoes in both Chile and Guatemala :)
I love the outdoors, camping, alternative style traveling, creating good connections, experiences and only positivity!
Some of my previous longer trips: 1.5 years living in a van in New Zealand, 1 year Australia, 3 months in Japan and frequently short trips to other countries when in Europe.
Originally from Bulgaria, but home feels like anywhere I go.
I'd describe myself as a very positive person, a big nature and adventure lover, having a good balance between outdoor active, socializing and time for myself (for example reading, painting, yoga, meditation).
I love sharing experiences with people and am greatly interested in learning and trying new things. A bit crazy sometimes (in a good way, I hope, since most people say it :D), but sometimes also rather quiet - depends on mood and moment I guess :) Very spontaneous and open minded. Almost never having a real plan, I anyway just call them ideas :)
Always happy to meet or talk to you, so don't hesitate to message me.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Traveling, meeting awesome people, exploring cultures, having a good time.
Couchsurfing is for me an experience for its own and offers one of the best ways to get to know the world by meeting locals and other travelers.
I did Couchsurfing across Europe, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Latin America and certainly had always a great time and even met friends for life!
At the moment I can't offer a place to stay since I'm moving places frequently and don't have a stable home, but you are welcome anytime after I will settle down again somewhere - not sure where :)
Feel free to ask recommendations though - I'm always glad to share!
Interests
Nature - can never get enough of it, specifically attracted to jungle, forests, trees but also volcanoes and mountains.
Camping or simply living in the nature, rather as a lifestyle not only a hobby.
Sports like volleyball, tennis, ping pong, biking. However, haven't much the opportunity to practice since I'm never really long in a place and live most of the time out of only a backpack.
Reading good books, often also about mindfulness.
Driving cars (especially 4WD) and tractors for work :D
Sometimes painting or writing poems.

Music, Movies, and Books
Wide spectrum of music. Rarely watching movies but if then preferring the ones based on true stories.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
- Did a 1000km road trip for 2 days with a tractor for work and, of course, fun! :D
- One of the most surprising CS experiences: flew on a private plane while Couchsurfing on a farm in New Zealand
- Lived 2 months in a tent in almost winter conditions in Patagonia, including doing the hardest hikes of my life with a lot of weight/gear :D my biggest thanks to my travel mate, mental support was vital!
- Deciding to realize even the craziest ideas I sometimes get. If not now, when?! :D
More important than what we see, do and experience is HOW we do it.
I am easily getting excited about even about the smallest things :)
Teach, Learn, Share
I love to learn! Either something I already know about and I'm interested in or maybe you can inspire me with something new?
I also love to share many moments of life and of course I'd love to hear about your stories too.
I can teach you maybe languages that I'm fluent in, playing volleyball or make you familiar with Balkan cuisine and culture :)
What I Can Share with Hosts
A cheerful and positive attitude, many smiles, respect, flexibility to do anything together or also be on my own, cleanliness and tidiness, help with house/garden/chores, sharing all I've lived and experienced.
