About Me

I love animals and I've been a vegetarian for 6 years now. I try to live as sustainable life as possible and in doing so, I like to think I influence other people to change their mindsets as well. I believe that each person has the power to make an impact to the world.
I work in a global IT company - it is not my dream job, however it helps me to step out of my comfort zone by learning to work together with lots of people at the same time, to speak in front of all them and to learn new (technological) things every day. I've completed my studies in Business Administration and I'm currently studying Master's of Strategic leadership towards sustainability in Blekinge Institute of Technology in Karlskrona, Sweden.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As most of the people here I guess, I love traveling but I've always stayed in hotels, hostels, etc. At this stage of my life I'd like to experience the different cultures in the world by spending more time with the locals, I'd like to also create new relationships and friendships with people who are visiting Sofia... And what better way to do it if not by couchsurfing!

Interests

I love spending time in the mountains - that's the right place to be for me. I love my dog - she's a lucky girl who I found when she was 2 weeks old, left to die, together with her 2 sisters and 1 brother. Me and my boyfriend back then took them all, found home to the other 3 and fell in love with Doondah... and that feeling hasn't changed for 8.5 years now.

Music, Movies, and Books

In terms of music, I consider myself a music lover and I like almost all types of music. My most favorite type, however, is electronic trance music. I've listened to it since 2003 and I've been going to trance parties since 2007.. it's the one style that I've stuck with the longest of time.
As for movies and books - I like the ones that make me think or wonder.. the ones that you're still thinking about on the next day, after watching it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can think of 3 things actually...
I had a dream to do paragliding and I've done it a couple of times - amazing feeling, indeed!
The day when we saved the 4 pups from their certain death was a big day as well!
And last but not least, the day I decided to leave my "secured" life and job and go study about what is important for me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My positive attitude, my typical Bulgarian curiosity and what else... Maybe some Bulgarian wine as well :D
