About Me

Born in Sofia, been living in the Ruhr Area in Germany for ages, now living in Paris for one year abroad.
I have been studying and working in different fields, mostly in theatre and arts. I'm a huge language-lover and would love to learn to speak as many as I can. Always mesmerized by the fact how different languages can be so multifaceted in expressing the perceptions of the world by means of different figures of speech (which is connected to my current artistic project btw).
Last but not least: I love dancing. It's like breathing for me ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I support the idea of sharing rather than just consuming . And because I love travelling and sharing experience with locals rather than doing standard touristic sight-seeing.

Interests

Theatre, Art, Music, Dance (especially Swing Dance), Literature, Philosophy, Sustainability... and beyond. Curious about everything, actually.
