CURRENT MISSION
do things i believe in
learn more, travel more
improve my language skills :)
eat, enjoy, eat again

ABOUT ME
i'm a film graduate living in london. I'm now sometimes travelling around the UK with a friend after coming back from Europe. Im looking forward to traveling the world, hopefully sooner than later, and moving to a new country at some point so this is a good time to see the country I've been living in for a few years! :)

in love with music, with others, with food and others. I love photographing so my travels are slow and relaxed.

PHILO-SOPHY
i love making things better so long as more people are happy... fairness is important to me and so is respect for others' and their choices

learn new things, always
smile when you dance
be generous

TRAVEL PHILOSOPHY
try to speak the language at least a bit
taste local food
listen to local music, listen to all music
learn not to exoticize others
be respectful
eat more food

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've couch surfed many times before finding out about CS :) My most amazing experiences have been in Italy & Spain, where I spent a lot of time eating and meeting people who showed me generosity and respect. I've also spent many nights on London couches while looking for a new flat (and that was mighty fun!) or on beaches waiting for the sunrise

TO SEE MORE
I've never couchsurfed via CS so it's all new & exciting and, frankly, a bit scary but not really. My new year's resolution to travel as much as I can and learn more new things my whole life, more and more. So it is time.

TO GIVE MORE
Life is empty if spent alone. Now I live with 6 other people and sometimes we have space, often we don't because we have guests visiting all the time. But if you're travelling to London (or Bulgaria!) and I can't host you, you're welcome to drop me a line and ask me anything from travel tips to where to eat and what to visit. We could even visit an exhibition together if time allows :)

REFERENCES
Ah, traveler friends - they'll get around to it someday :)

If you decide to trust me and host me before I get more of those, this would be totally amazing and I'll give you a call beforehand :) Here's also my facebook profile https://www.facebook.com/svet.lapcheva

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've managed to learn foreign languages without ever living in the country but that's not really that amazing, just fun

I have a long to-do list that includes skydiving and supersonic cars.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to share what I know, which is not much but yours to have. I've taught English to more than one stranger I met on the street so if that's something you need, I'm more than happy to

I will show you how to make Bulgarian banitsa if we have the ingredients too!

I'm open to learning anything - instruments, languages, culinary skills, crafts.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food, wine & stories and fun times in peace and music

Not making a mess & cleaning up & housework is a given, of course :)

And much positive energy :)
