It is really hard to introduce yourself with a couple of words but I will give a try. Humble, hard-working, reliable guy who loves the nature, hiking in the majestic mountains, doing sports, traveling solo, with family or friends. Since I was a small child, foreign languages have been my passion and they helped me widen my horizon, become an open-minded person and last but not least, find faithful friends from different European countries. Currently I am working as assistant professor (full time) and teacher (part time) and the everyday contact with young people makes me very happy. I spent my early childhood in the countryside and I love the quiet and peaceful lifestyle that is why my next goal in life is to have a house in a beautiful mountainous village somewhere in my dear Northwest Bulgaria.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here to widen my horizon, meet new people from all over ther world and practise my foreign language skills. To be honest, I regret having deleted my previous Couchsurfing account because thanks to this platform I met amazing guys who became good friends of mine. We still keep in touch and meet when it is possible. I wish it happened more often...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking by train (I know it sounds ridiculous but it it true), white water rafting, sleeping in a snow hole on a high mountain peak in the Balkan mountains, spending a night in a cave at the Black sea coast, being a volunteer...

Teach, Learn, Share

I love my country and I have been nearly everywhere so I could give you good advice about traveling in Bulgaria. I am tolerant and we could share our viewpoints about different topics. I love long and deep conversations, so maybe you can help me find the meaning of life (if there is any).

What I Can Share with Hosts

Walking tours in Sofia, hiking in the mountains, exploring the wild Bulgarian Northwest, cooking traditional food together, grabbing some beers...
