CURRENT MISSION

Create an unforgettable story about my life!

ABOUT ME

Optimistic, curious about almost everything, and loving freedom. I'm very adaptable and rarely scared of something, especially if it's some new experience!

Leaving comfort zone makes you stronger.

I try to make it with art - writing, photography, music.

PHILOSOPHY

"What would you do if money was no object?". Money is a very overrated idea, unnecessary complication of what should be simple otherwise. Anarchist in principles, but not an aggressive one :) Always open for discussion and getting to know other points of view. Currently fascinated by Buddhism philosophy.

Experience as much of the world and life as possible! What is life worth if not trying to make it amazing?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I mainly surfed making friends all over Europe and Asia, just getting into hosting part as I am more settling down in one place now.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Amazing way to meet people that are also so open and friendly, and curious to know other cultures and individuals!

Interests

Making music (guitar and some vocals, lately piano and flute). Still developing skills in home recording. Writing articles, mountain trekking - amazed by wildlife and freedom awaiting in huge open spaces. Photography, eating and drinking new stuff... Environment and social activism also is a big part of my interests.

Recently I also got interested in Eastern philosophy, mainly Buddhism.

Just every new experience is welcome!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Progressive & classic rock: Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree, Riverside, Steven Wilson... but often I am exploring many other genres: folklore (Bulgarian is awesome!), blues (Stevie Ray Vaughan, Gov't Mule), jazz, trip hop, soul, funk... There's a great thing about CS that I always come back home with some new music to check out!

Books: Thrillers, travel, philosophy... everything that makes you think... or just entertains :) Kapuściński, Stachura, Kerouac, Stasiuk.

Movies: As well easy ones, as the more ambitious.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One thing? Come on... :D

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach playing guitar, photography basics. Some outdoor and trekking skills and knowledge, I would always gladly go on a trip to the mountains, if you wish! :)

The most simple things that I'd love to learn is bands from other countries. It is common for us to know US, UK music market, but after I've discovered some Albanian jazz, rock from Uzbekistan and Bulgarian folk-jazz, I am constantly looking to expand my knowledge :)
