CURRENT MISSION

Help people to see things in a new way, and to show visitors and insider view of Bulgarian culture.

ABOUT ME

Direct communicator, easy to talk with, no bullshit. Living with my wonderful Bulgarian wife, Argentine dog and 7-year-old stepson.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what you love or you're already dead.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I backpacked for several years around the world in my 20's. I crashed in many places and I connected lots of others.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted over 100 guests in Bariloche in Patagonia (both officially and unofficially) and now that I'm in Plovdiv, I want to make sure visitors experience the real Bulgaria.

Interests

I like red wine or a very hoppy ale. Also into nutrition, cooking, running and learning new things. I'm a professional life coach mostly for business owners and CEOs, so most of my "light" reading is about self-development.

Music, Movies, and Books

Vonnegut

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived on and traveled in a 1958 double decker bus through the Americas for 8 months. I wrote monthly columns for the Houston Chronicle during this time (2000-2001).
