I have dedicated a lot of my life to studying medieval history and traveling around Europe and around my beautiful country of Bulgaria and all around the Balkans. There is not a lot to say about me. I am still studying and preparing my PhD-Thesis on the Piracy and the mercenaries in the Baltic. I like to meet new people and travel, always, when it's possible. Now I am studying and living in Mainz, Germany. I will stay here between 1.10.2017 and 28.02.2018.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am quite new to CS, but I can see that It's affordable, exciting and offers many ways to meet new and interesting people via traveling. It's always great to get a local perspective on culture and life and to share all kind of stories and life-experiences. I really want to meet some open-minded people, and to experience all that Couchsurfing has to offer.
