ABOUT ME

I'm Victoria and I'm Bulgarian, but I currently live and work in a suburb of Paris, France.
I consider myself a citizen of the world, for me people are more important than places, so I can feel at home anywhere in the world. Travelling makes me feel alive, I'm constantly looking for new experiences. Sometimes I love big noisy cities, full of millions of people, or mountains, where the only thing you hear is the sound of nature, or sometimes I prefer the seaside and the long warm nights around the campfire. I love sunrises and sunsets, being on the road, poetry and poets, guitars and guitarists, songs and singers, hills and forests, but awesome people are my favourite thing on earth. (:

PHILOSOPHY

"But no matter, the road is life." (Jack Kerouac)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf, mostly, but I don't have much experience yet.
I'm not able to host people because I live in a student residence and I'm not allowed to have people staying here during the night.

Spent 2 weeks in Paris, a night in Beauvais, 3 nights in London and a night in Hamburg.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In November 2012 I hitchhiked in Germany from Hamburg to Bremen and ended up in the middle of nowhere between the two cities. I also had an online test I had to do till the end of the day and I wasn't sure if I'd have a place to stay, not to mention internet connection.
The amazing part is that I actually managed to get to Bremen and do the test.
