CURRENT MISSION

To live the life that I dreamed of when I was a child.

ABOUT ME

Well, it's hard to write all about me, but I'll try to summarize. I'm usually a funny and cheerful creature, laughing uncontrollably, jumping around, and being enthusiastic about everything. I'm rarely angry but sometimes I enjoy being sarcastic. I like doing things the hard way, as this helps me to grow up, and I'm deeply convinced that people are good, the world is beautiful and pain is just a transient part of the adventure. Haha, that's what I wrote almost 10 years ago but not much has changed with the exception that I stopped enjoying pain and organize my adventures (a bit) more wisely.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is like a milk shake - some ingredients are unhealthy, some can even leave bruises on your knees, but in the end the result is sweet.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm looking forward to meeting new people either couchsurfing or hosting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started with hosting some friends and then couchsurfers in Yellowstone National Park where I worked for the summer. Then, I spent almost a month couchsurfing in the US, and I continued to host in my hometown Sofia, enjoying sharing thoughts and experiences with people from all over the world. As I was quite busy with my studies in the recent years (a PhD takes a loooooog time, you know), I put counchsurfing on pause but now I'm happy to come back to it and feel young and wild again. I guess a bike trip in the South of France is a good start.

兴趣

I'm interested in... well, almost everything as I like challenging my points of view. Obviously, I'm quite interested in science but mountains and caves are also my passion. I feel most real under the open sky and I don't mind being dirty and tired. I like poetry, deep conversations, and dancing a bit of salsa, swing, and Bulgarian national dance.

音乐、电影和书籍

I like poetry and here's the translation of my favorite poem:

Don't ask how much your dream would cost -
fight, fly, fall and die!
Carry it and let it lead you, and be reborn,
stand up and want, and try!
Don't lock it inside, in the soul...
Breathe free, head up, don't stop,
dream of joy and beauty in delight!
Your dream is faith in miracles,
gives birth to peace and light.
Pay with blood and love and freedom won't be lost...
Don't ask how much your dream would cost!

Lyudmil Yankov, Bulgarian allpinist

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

In general, I'm one of these stubborn and childlike people who believe that life itself is amazing. But if I'm to mention just a few things they will be: a summer in Yellowstone, a rain storm in the Jordanian desert, diving in with manta rays in Hawaii, finding the guy I love, and a half peanut (if you meet me, you can get to know the story).

教，学，和分享

I'll enjoy explaining to you everything I know about biology and I'm able to do this in common language. I can also teach you some traditional Bulgarian dances.
I'm eager to learn whatever you have to offer.
