CURRENT MISSION

Providing a home stay in Berkeley for travelers! Hoping to connect with many for when I am ready to travel :)

ABOUT ME

I was born in Bulgaria and moved to California when I was young. Being culturally different created a seed in me of wanting to continually travel and connect with various cultures. I absolutely love learning about different lifestyles and visiting gorgeous wilderness. My favorite is backpacking through beautiful nature.

I am highly passionate about creating an impact in this world. I am passionate about people and love working on projects that create community and positive change. One group I have been working with is a 40+ community where we create workshops, infrastructures, and music directed towards building a positive community and world at Burning Man. I would love to continue getting involved in such projects.

I am currently pursuing a professional career in photography & photojournalism so I am hoping to take this to international terrain in the near future.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn how to love yourself, learn how to love others, learn how to love community, learn how to love life fully <3

Algo increíble que he hecho

Burning Man has been a project I've been a part of for the last five years. For the past five years, I've traveled out to the Black Rock Desert for a two week backpacking/survival skills/creativity blast retreat of sorts. My best friends and I built a camp three years ago that is still going strong and expanding continuously where we host workshops, music, bar and lounge spaces, and communal living through positive communication and Burning Man's 10 principals. Has been on of the most transformative and amazing experiences I've been a part of.

Enseña, aprende, comparte
