CURRENT MISSION

I've just moved back to Bulgaria after living in Vancouver, Canada for 20 years. I want to learn as much as possible, and reconnect with my culture and roots, and of course meet some awesome new people!

ABOUT ME

I tread through the world cautiously with purpose, curiosity and wonder. I try to explore as many perspectives as possible, delving into the depths of people, situations, places, nature, etc.
Superficiality and skimming the surface bores me, I'm always searching for the deeper truth in things. I believe in a balanced world and that everything you express outwardly comes back to you in some form or another.

I'm not the easiest person to get to know, but once/if I open up to you, I'm open minded and easy going and love sharing stories, talking about life, philosophy, science, psychology, etc. as well as learning new things from people from different walks of life and cultures.

"Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet like minded people to share beautiful stories and love and curiosity of the world

Interests

I've just bought my first analog camera and am excited to start exploring the world of film photography :)
I also love the arts - poetry (writing and reading), painting and drawing, but unfortunately I don't practice this as much as I'd like.
