About Me

When I travel I love hiking, making pictures and an occasional party. I'm not looking for a date, I'm on CS to find nice conversations and laughs with interesting people.

The kind of people I like are sincere, curious and open minded. If I visit you I'd like you to show me your friends and your life. I don't mind walking around all day and I love discovering hidden treasures.
If you visit me, well.. you already know what I like, but let me know what you expect from your visit!

I'm born in Bulgaria and raised in the Netherlands. I'm calm in general, but once I get started with a good conversation I can't stop talking and I like learning new things. I like to take life easy, but I try to work hard and spend my time on something worthwhile. I'm an artist at heart and people tend to say I overthink, but I'm quite happy with my thoughts. I've lived in several countries and recently quit my job in Brussels to have a change of scenery.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Discovering places and knowing people all over the world makes you a greater person. I never want to stop learning.

Interests

My interests are very broad, but I especially want to understand people and culture. I love storytelling of all kinds, but my biggest love is animation. I am trying to develop projects in my free time and hope to do that for a living someday.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like music to sing along and dance to, but many different kinds. I like some heavy stuff, some mellow stuff, some electronic stuff, old and new, fast and slow, alternative and pop. You can make me very happy with good music!
Some of my favorites at the moment are Iseo & Dodosound, Sublime, Manu Chao, Soom T, The Beat, Die Antwoord, Calle 13....
Bill Bryson, Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman...
Ghibli, Tarantino, Lord of the Rings...
