CURRENT MISSION

The last 2 years I've spent pretty much behind a Nex 5N screen, or Zenit 11 viewfinder. Slowly, very slowly, but definitely progressing forward in composing shots. Other than that, since it is summer, stay in the sun as much as possible. Ride my bike, regardless of the season, weather or terrain.

ABOUT ME

I'm fun. Rarely take stuff seriously, so I laugh a lot. Make people laugh. A bit of an odd ball I guess. I think I have like two modes - very energetic, and extremely sleepy - no middle ground =D And when I get sleepy, I just fall asleep, wherever, whenever. Sometimes literally fall on my face sleeping :D I like teaching. I worked in a couple of language school, but the best/worst experience was definitely teaching at a state high school. Tough job, no money. Still I want to teach. It's like that is the only one thing I can do. I like it. I like the feeling of giving what I know to others, and see when they actually understand it.

PHILOSOPHY

Power of thought. We create the happenings around us.

Life is like the biggest joke in the world. So why not have some fun and laugh about it.

Don't hurt others.

"Try not.
Do, or do not."
-Yoda

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting when I'm settled down, surfing when on the road. I can cook mighty tasty banitsa and fry average tasting eggs.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfing in Japan and Croatia.
Hosting in Bulgaria and Japan.

Interests

Camera and bicycle. That is it. I ride and I shoot. Regardless of season, weather or terrain. I spend some time editing and printing photos. I like that. I imagine that some day, when I get better I might earn money for this.

Music, Movies, and Books

Killing Joke. The 80`s Matchbox B-Line Disaster. Buck 65. Roots Manuva. Gorillaz. Right now Morphine - Thursday is playing. Many many many many more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Everything I do is amazing :D . Still, out of bungee jumping, rock climbing, mountain biking, staying at no heating water or electricity mountain shelter at 2000+ meters in mid winter and many many more, diving at coral reefs near Okinawa and Tokashiki was just unbelievable. As if you are in one of those 1000-piece jigsaw puzzles of colorful coral reefs with emerald blue water and sunshine glimmering through it. Incredible.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Japanese, English, Bulgarian, Didgeridoo, sanshin (kinda like shamisen, but different), some jew's harp and asalato (kashaka), some photography.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some funny stories (like being held at a police department for hours in Japan for having a pocket knife in my backpack), Bulgarian cuisine, basic sushi making skills.
