I'm Venera. I'm 27 and I live with my Belgian boyfriend, Jerry, who's also 27, and our big black dog Rex (who just turned 2!). I love to create wearable art (jewellery), I love to travel and meet new people and I love to learn new languages!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and see their culture and way of life. To let them experience mine.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - oh so many things, but I like mostly indie rock, trip hop, lounge/chill-house, jazz, downtempo, 70s, 80s,90s. I'm a firm believer that great music died in 2010 :D

Movies - drama, crime, thriller, documentaries. Stand-up comedy!

Books - jewellery-related, classic English and French literature, Oscar Wilde, Paul Auster, Virginia Wolf, Stephen King, folk tales from around the world, Ingvar Ambørnsen, Knut Faldbakken, Hermann Hesse, Henrik Ibsen

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done some pretty amazing things, which I'd love to tell you about in person.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a lot about Bulgaria and our amazing history, culture and food. I'd love to learn about different ways of life and I'm willing to share my knowledge and experience and my couch with wonderful like-minded people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to show people around Sofia *if you are here during the weekend*- the must-see monuments and places as well as lovely, off-the-beaten-track spots: coffee shops, parks, public gardens, galleries, cool places to shop which won't rip you off :-)

Me and my boyfriend are very friendly and open-minded people who would love to share their couch! Rex, our black lab, is a very clean and friendly dog, however if you aren't into dogs and or have pet allergy, then maybe you should skip sleeping over. We welcome dog lovers and adventurers of all sorts!
