About Me

I am currently on an interrail journey across eastern and central Europe, will be back home soon. If you need a place to stay, send me a message and I'll try to help you.

Dear traveler, explorer, wanderer or whoever is reading this
I am looking forward to meet you and hear about all of your amazing stories. Where you come from, what inspires you to be the person you are and how you ended up being here. Bring me on an adventure with you and show me things I haven't seen. And I will tell a story about it, about you and your great personality. Mostly with photos, because that's what I like doing. A photograph is a powerful source of emotion. A proof of your memories, that something has happend. Capable to bring you back all the emotions from the exact same moment. And I promise you, we only will be having good memories. Because I love life, I love myself and you, the reader, the traveler, the explorer, who I haven't met yet. Show me your world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Isn't it exciting to meet someone for first time, share personal stories and be honest, firstly to yourself, and then this person is gone, but the words are said and the memories made. Couchsurfing is a great opportunity to meet people like you. People who travel and haven't been at home for a while. Couchsurfing is a place where you can find yourself and feel at home.

I love couchsurfing. It already gave me so many friends and life-long experiences. Imagine what is yet to come!

Interests

I like to document my daily life by writing, sketching, photographing it. Saving memories of people for the later stages in my life. Whenever I am not walking I am cycling and bike is my preferred movement method. I love spending the summer months sleeping outdoors.

My newest hobby is bird watching, so I've been doing all kinds of bird activities lately - bird ringing camps, monitorings, building platforms for pelicans etc.

I am also volunteering for different initiatives (mainly environmental) for many years now. Once a volunteer, always a volunteer. The most current one - coordinator for transportation of injured bats.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Northen lights dancing in the sky, while a friend was singing Tlingit songs. Absolutely beautiful moment, shared with tears.

Teach, Learn, Share

Sharing all the love I have in my heart with everyone I meet.
I can teach some Bulgarian folk dances, a few songs and maaany birds.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer to my guests a warm bed, delicious food, good stories and nice music. If the weather is good - sightseing and exploring the local museums and galleries. If it's not - making black and white prints in the darkroom, taking photos in the studio, spending time with my lovely friends.
