About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience as much as possible every country in the world, while searching the point of life, discovering myself and pursuing the happiness>:)

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Bulgaria, I love my country! But ever since I discovered an old political map of the world (many, many years ago) - one of my life goals is to set foot on all of it! Graduation of maritime university and starting work as a sailor (currently an EOOW:) was an excellent way to do both traveling and work in one, but I want even more, which is why I'm here:)

PHILOSOPHY

Experience the Life, enjoy the so called "small things" and just the feeling of being alive and healthy, learn as much as you can, be a good person, help those in need and do your best to make your existence meaningful, live with honor, Love, even if it'll hurt you, forgive (but don't forget) and keep in mind that the life is too short to do a things, which you don't like, to miss good opportunities or to worry too much...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not yet, but it's a matter of time>:)

Interests

Lets see.. besides the TRAVELING, I'm interested in collecting coins, banknotes and good memories, love intelligent conversations, smart people, and books that never let you to leave them before the last page. I watch well drawn anime, play complicated board games and I'm kind of expert in any kind of club sports (kh-khm:). I love challenges, experiencing new things, ..and beer! Add to these the smell of the sea, the touch of a living being, the taste of a clean mountain air in the morning, the beauty itself - in any forms... and now you know app. 2-3% of me already;)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like the music, capable of touching my soul. Extremely good lyrics are advantage!
CAUTION: sometimes I sing. It's stronger than me. My friends created a law, which forbids me to sing, and they use it in such occasions:/
The last movie I saw was the 3rd part of "The Hunger games", because I'm fan of both the book and Jennifer Lawrence:)
Books: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/4999799 (here are probably more than a half of the books I've red). My favorite writer for 2014 is Nikolay Tabakov - although not so famous, he's style of writing is sooo good, that the story itself looks like an extra!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My volunteering in an orphanage in Nepal, as a teacher in Belarus and sailing with a sailing ship (the last may sounds like nothing special, but "amazing" is not strong enough word to describe it;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn how to cook sth different than fried eggs
