About Me

ABOUT ME

I am very passionate about nature and all outdoor nature-related activities. I am crazy about swimming, hiking, cycling, capoeira and snowboarding. During the last few years I have been living in Copenhagen, where I finished my Master's degree. There I was working my dream job in a small but growing company organizing and guiding the cycling tours, the food tours and the walking tours. Currently I am in the search of my next adventure.

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind. Be crazy. Worry less. Smile more. Dream big. Follow your passions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By hosting, surfing, and sharing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been mainly hosting people, but I have also surfed several times in Turkey, Belgium, and Sweden.

Interests

I love learning new languages, discovering new places by exploring small streets and forests. I love organizing my own tours and adventures. I have been training capoeira for a while but I am still far away from being good at it.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is my addiction! I am a big fan of a variety of styles - world ethno, celtic, pagan, reggae, punk, rock, ska, indie, jazz, folk, tribal, soul, instrumental. I like to listen to traditional music from different places in the world.

Some of my favorite movies are Into the Wild, Кецове, O Brother Where Art Thou, and many more. I like to watch movies which make you think, and provoke you in a way to ask yourself questions afterwards.

There are so many great books and it is hard to name all of them here. I like both fantasy, as well as novels, poetry, fairy tales and many of the books of Vakon publishing house, which describe the adventures of different travelers around the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Buying a one-way ticket to Brussels and crossing Europe by hitch-hiking; Climbing peak Rysy in High Tatras; Flying with para-glider; Diving; Seeing how plankton shines at night - magic!!! Living in a tent for a month and a half; Travelling in the mountain on a bicycle by myself; Night mountain hiking on the moonlight; Living in and repairing a big sailing boat from 1935...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Bulgarian language as well as words in several other languages that I've learned while travelling. I can also teach you which herbs to use for a good tea or a remedy, how to cook traditional Bulgarian food, how to dance a Bulgarian chain dance - horo.

I would like to learn as much languages as possible, to know about different places and cultures in the world, hear about some cool bands and traditional music from your own country.

What I can share - my home, delicious food, stories, an adventure...
