CURRENT MISSION

Stay happy! Everything else falls into place.

ABOUT ME

They would probably tell you I'm a crazy Bulgarian kid that is lovin' life.

PHILOSOPHY

I think that everything anyone does is to further their happiness. That goal directs most of my actions, and through that I have met amazing people, and have had amazing experiences. With those things in mind, it is very easy for me to set the VERY limited quantities of time and money to the back of my mind, and enjoy the moment at hand.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love surfing, never a bad experience! I haven't had a chance to host yet, but I'm definitely eager to do so. Couchsurfing was a very important part of my three month bike trip I took with a buddy last year, every place we stayed was beyond a joy.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The first time I heard about couch surfing was from a friend I met on a climbing trip. He had been CSing all around the world and had been hosting for a good number of years too. He is definitely the reason I am part of this experience and I could not thank him enough for it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A forty mile climb on a bike took me and some buddies to a view of Mt. Rainier eight miles from the peak. To describe it wouldn't do it justice...Just imagine the biggest, baddest thing you've ever seen in your life. Needless to say the downhill was breathtaking as well.

Teach, Learn, Share

I spent the Spring of 2011 learning all about the natural history of the Oak-Hickory forest. Though this may be very specific, a lot of the principles go to all areas of the world, and I love spreading that knowledge. Through only five months of learning though, I have only touched the tip of the iceberg, and there is nothing more that I would like than to learn more about natural history in that area, and anywhere else really!I also love working with my hands. Building, creating, and putting to use. Nothin feels better.
