CURRENT MISSION

Travelling around the world

ABOUT ME

I am a software engineer, I spent the past five years of my live working behind a desk programming DVDs. During my paid vacations I travelled around Europe and the Middle East, and I used my weekends for trekking around the beautiful Bulgarian mountains. But when in 2012 our office closed due to the crisis I decided that it's time to fulfil my dreams and travel around South America with my girlfriend. And so we did... for 4 months.
I liked it so much that two years later I did another 5-month solo trip there, after that 5 months in Asia.

And now, as newly-weds we decided to go for our honeymoon to the furthest place possible: The land of the Hobbits and the long white cloud - New Zealand.
