ABOUT ME

Hi. My name is Ivaylo and I currently live and work in Siena, Italy but I was born in Blagoevgrad, a small town near the mountain of Rila. I spent the first 20 years of my life there. I have BA in Balkan Studies and MA in Cultural Anthopology in Sofia University.

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy in short is – looking for the meaning, beyond prejudices and borders, no matter if we talk about human relations, love, politics, nature, football, globalization, music, civil disobedience, poetry, meaning of life. The way I attempt to do that is the constant experiencing of different moments, with different people with different opinions, in different environments. Being open to the world, I try to find answers to the questions I ask.

Interests

I am interested in philosophy, history, anthropology, social movements, literature (prose and poetry), photography, fishing, football...
