Overview
About Me
Hey, there!
I have lived all my life in my home country except for one year when I did a European Voluntary Service (EVS) in the Netherlands which was in 2014. This is when I started travelling more often and making a lot of international friends.
During working days I perform as a receptionist, and in the weekends I go for a run in the park and practice Chinese calligraphy in a group.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
With the risk to sound cheesy, I love traveling and what I love even more is when I can get to know new people who are either local or have lived in the place for a while and can tell me their story, favourite places in the city or just what they are currently up to.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I was volunteering in Belgium for a music festival and when it finished I decided to visit Antwerpen. After some time of wandering around I entered a cafe to use some wi-fi. After sharing my story with the woman which was running the place I got an invitation to her home. On the next day she told me that I can even stay for a week if I want. I got to know also two of her daughters and quite a few of her friends and relatives. It was my first time meeting someone who is willing to host me so easily on spot and the best time spent alone in a place I didn't know. :)
What I Can Share with Hosts
I could teach you some words in Bulgarian - one of the oldest languages in Europe. I can also tell you why we don't start teaching foreigners curse words in the beginning. I can show you how to make sushi, awesome soup with just 4 vegetables or I can inspire you how to make the best with the products you have.
I got some valuable for me experience of how to manage my finances so I can share some tips and tricks.
Last but not least, I can offer you a coaching session for free on a topic of your choice.
