At nearly 30 I can't complain: I am doing what I love, the people around me are loyal, wonderful individuals who I can rely on. I work in media so there's always fun stories to tell.
I am a part of the TEDx community around the world and here in Sofia in particular.
Talking to strangers about supposedly nonsensical things can be more powerful and thought-provoking than the big talks with people I already know - this is my experience.
I like to cook for others and to welcome friends in my home. I love "playing hostess". I like board games, cheese and barbecues. Paradoxically, I am also cutting down on meat.
I am discovering yoga and I hope that this time next year I'll have a dog.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here for the same reason I assume all of us are: the fantastic mixture of getting to meet locals, share experiences and at least attempt to see the place I visit like a local would. Of course, cheaper travel is appreciated - I would rather spend the money buying my host a glass of wine, having quality time with them, rather than on an impersonal hotel.

Couchsurfing-wise, I've done it three times, I haven't yet hosted, but I look forward to doing it someday.

Interests

Current events, economy, bartending, criminology, languages, cooking, traveling and since recently - camping. I recently went to my first Broadway musical and it was transformative - I hope to be able to do it again soon!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drank cognac that was over a 100 years old, just drawn out of the barell with a pipette.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food. That's what I enjoy the most, I genuinely appreciate quality food and drink, and that is what I always bring to those who are kind enough to open their home to me - a little something from my home to yours.

Countries I’ve Lived In

Bulgaria, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, Ukraine, United Kingdom
