About Me

CURRENT MISSION

in search of the perfect cheesecake

ABOUT ME

A curly soul
Fish with honey

A nomad in heart during weekends. A magical carrot over the week.

PHILOSOPHY

I travel to go back home. To paraphrase Filip Lhamsuren (a Bulgarian explorer)- finding yourself is a never-ending process. You get lost and then you have to find a way to find yourself again.
For me that is through movement.

Sometimes deep, sophisticated melancholia, sometimes Shakira :))

books: mainly neuroscience, autobiographies, psychology, travel and adventure

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Seattle, WA- when I was 19, my first trip abroad, I went selling books door to door. Greatly sucked at being a salesman however met amazing people at their doorstep who invited me over for pizza and tea. Also met Bonnie and Earl- forever grateful for their kindness

- did a 260km trek in the Bulgarian mountains

- led some yoga classes for a while

- trying to overcome my deep water terror at the moment

Teach, Learn, Share

If you come to Bulgaria:
- in Jan//Feb- check out "Kukeri". The National Geographic video describes is it well
- in May- the Rose festival. Especially if you find a way to go help locals pick up the roses in the rose fields at dawn..
- in August- the Jeravna festival
