I’m a 37-year-old guy who loves exploring new places, meeting people, and experiencing different cultures. I’m always up for an adventure, whether it's trying local food, discovering new ideas, or just enjoying life. I believe in living fully, staying active, and learning from everyone I meet. Let’s connect and share some great stories and experiences ;-)

Interests

I often travel solo as it gives me the freedom to connect more deeply with local cultures, be spontaneous, and change plans whenever I want. However, I do appreciate some company from time to time.

I love learning new languages and am always up for practicing them while I travel.

Nature is my happy place. Whether it’s the fresh mountain air, the sound of the waves, or the calm of the wind, I feel most alive when I’m outdoors. Hiking is my go-to activity to reconnect with nature.

I’m really into economics, politics, and enjoy deep conversations on just about any topic. I love sharing ideas and learning from others.

Taking care of my body is important to me. I hit the gym a few times a week, swim, hike, run and practice meditation daily to keep both mind and body in balance.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
My playlist is a mix of everything that moves me—whether it's the energy of glam rock, the vibe of pop (even the controversial Bulgarian pop-folk/chalga), or the beats of electronic. But I’m always open to new sounds. If a song makes me feel something, I’ll give it a listen.

Movies:
I’m drawn to films that make you think and feel. From the emotional depth of La finestra di fronte (and other Ferzan Ozpetek gems) to the surreal world of Donnie Darko and Brokeback Mountain. Dead Poets Society speaks to my soul, and I’m always up for a good film that challenges the status quo.

Books:
I’m into writers who dive deep into the human experience. Saramago’s narratives, Orwell, J.D Salinger, Dostoevsky’s introspection, and Palahniuk’s dark humor all have a place on my shelf. Every book is a new adventure ;-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For one week I had the opportunity to have a glimpse of what life looks like in North Korea.. what an amazing experience!

Escaped from a drug addict with a big knife in Sao Paulo.

I swam with whales and hammerhead sharks in Maldives.

10 days Vipassana meditation retreat in Tuscany.

Permanently relocate to Bulgaria from Switzerland ;-)

Teach, Learn, Share

If I am walking with two other men, each of them will serve as my teacher. I will pick out the good points of the one and imitate them, and the bad points of the other and correct them in myself.
