I'm a curious, happy, and positive person. I like to chat with friends and strangers, sharing and connecting with others, learning new things, and exploring new places. I love making good food, learning about different cultures, and laughing until my cheeks hurt. Most of all, I love nature and spending time outdoors, hiking, biking, skiing, and taking pictures. Earlier this year I did a solo trip to Chile and Argentina and met many wonderful people through CS. Out of that travel, after spending 19 years in the USA, I decided to move from Seattle back to my country Bulgaria to work at a family business. So I'm off to a new adventure.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volunteering helping Martin, the cook, at La Casona De Odile, a hostel in El Bólson Argentina. I learned a lot, laughed a lot, spend time with amazing people, ate great food, felt loved and welcomed, and hiked and swam in some spectacular and gorgeous places. Experience that changed my life!
