**I'll be in Vanuatu and the Philippines until early July**

My name is Tihomir (which means 'serenity'). If that's hard to remember or pronounce, you can call me T.

Travelling and languages are my passions. I grew up in Bulgaria, but in the past 18 years I have lived in Iceland, New Zealand, Vanuatu, on the road, and now in Leipzig.

For work, I do research on language, evolution, endangered language documentation, and specifically on the languages of Vanuatu.

I like people and nature - climbing mountains, cycling and doing long treks. I like to camp in places with beautiful views. Good company is always a plus.
