I'm a young professional from Bulgaria, born and raised in Sofia. I graduated from UNWE specialising in Marketing and Strategic Planning.

I'm fluent in both English and Spanish (+ studying Italian), which gave me the opportunity to go on long-term exchanges (more than 4 months). So far I've done 3: two in the USA (Alaska and San Francisco, CA), and one in Alicante, Spain.

As for my professional life, currently I'm the Operations Manager of a marketing and advertising agency in Bulgaria - Anomaly.bg. I'm an ESNer and a volunteer at TEDxVitosha (which should probably tell you how much free time I have ;). I enjoy organising and attending events.

My free time is divided between my friends, family, and hobbies/interests (sometimes all mixed up). To name a few: traveling, trying out restaurants (you see, I'm a foodie), taking photos/videos for Instagram (I really hope this becomes more than a hobby one day), watching movies (500+ lifetime titles and counting), reading. You know, the usual stuff. Does selfcare count as a hobby?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In order to make the most of my travels without having to worry about limitations.

I enjoy meeting new people and creating long-lasting connections. As a part of ESN for more than 2 years now, I've learned to appreciate diversity, among other things.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't like picking favorites. I can just name a few titles/genres that've made an impression on me:

Music
House, Pop, Techno, Rock, Reggaeton
Swedish House Mafia and The Weeknd are top

Movies
I usually have 2 moods: well-produced movies with a deep meaning or the most shallow comedies bordering with stupidity. I watch movies because of actors - I enjoy observing their careers going in different directions.
I like a story well told (a degree in Marketing after all).
If I have to name titles: The Witcher and GOT (I know they ain't movies, but damn they good).

Books
My taste in books varies greatly from my film choices. I use books to learn. I enjoy titles like The 5 AM Club, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, and 1984 for some disturbing prediction of history.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'll make them 3:

Live in Alaska for a summer
Live in San Francisco for a summer
Go to Las Vegas by myself

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to think there is time and place for everything. I believe that whatever has to happen will happen. Life is all about changing and adapting. This gives me a peace of mind.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food, interesting stories and good company.
