About Me

Alright so here's me: big hair, smile a lot, not sure what's going on in that head of mine, like to make other people have a good time, unfortunately often late, live in Sofia and loving my city. At the moment working 2 jobs - one for me and one to pay the bills, I hope I switch it around soon :)

I love food and nature. These are my two biggest drivers to do stuff. One of my favourite things about traveling is to try someone's grandma's food. Preferably in a village close to a mountain where I can go hiking :)

On the topic of CS I am on it as part of a couple really. My bf Alex and I travel together and host together. He's super cool like me, engineer by day, musician by heart. We started a business together selling hot chili sauce and other spicy food in Bulgaria. That's the dream!!

We are active with sports, we like to go out and have fun, but wouldn't say we are party animals.
If you wanna stay over at our place - great! Love that you are coming to Sofia :) Make sure to mention in your message a funny word in your language.
In any case if you reached this far reading - sturdy patience - that's important :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got to 13 full push-ups. Really pround of that one :D
Oh and took puctures with two awesome Japanese drag queens on a drunken night in Tokyo. That was fun :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to cook traditional Bulgarian dishes. I love to learn about cultures,traditions and history. Used to hate history at school, now I can't get enough of it. There are a ton of places to visit and experience in Sofia. I'll gladly show you around and give you recommendations for some of the more hidden jewes of Sofia. Like the best ice cream place or dive bar.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to cook for you :) Besides loving to eat food I love to prepare it as well. Especially breakfast - that's my favourite thing to do.
