I am possitive and always smiling person who need travelling as an oxygen. It has started during my bachelor studies when I attended studying programme in France (Angers), where I was studying 6 months as a part of European exchange programme Erasmus +. I highly appreciated this experience and I realized that my passion is meeting new people, discovering countries and speaking foreign lanaguages. That was one of the reason I started to work abroad during my summer holiday (Iceland, Norway). For being open-minded and really talkative I have an ability to talk in other languages even if I am starting to learn them. In addition I am daughter of Bulgarian so I 've been used to travel and to communicate in other language since I was a child.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As all members of Couchsurfing I found out that the best opportunity to get know the country I visit is to get know its habitants. I prefer to stay at someone's place than stay in the hotel without possibility to discover culture, nightlife etc. More interesting and exciting is to see the things "behind the scenes" like what is the way of live of people living in different countries.

Music, Movies, and Books

Concerning music I prefer the old ones - Simon and Garfunkel, old french singers (Jacques Brel, Francoise Hardy, Edith Piaf) but in general I like rock especially the post-rock like Sigur Rós partly because of my stay in Iceland.

I am not that movie addicted, so I watch movies, only If I have some good recommendation. On the other hand I prefer british production or realistic movies.

Favourite books - this is hard because I'm a passionate reader and I have no restrictions concerning the kind of books.
Recently I've started to read swedish crime stories and I just love it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacking in Albania and Kosovo, visiting these countries opened my eyes in connection with the quality of life and people's character.

The most spectacular country I have visited was Iceland, where I was hitchhiking for one month, stopped over 70 cars and enjoyed ever single minute of it.

Teach, Learn, Share

There is always a lot of things to learn, which one at the moment? I want to learn everything but mostly languages and how to play some musical instrument because I love the sound of guitar!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Mostly my travel stories and experience. But since I like to cook, I could prepare you some traditional Czech or Bulgarian meal.
