Description

Hello, hello,
I am very easy going and positive person. My passion is adventures and sometimes this includes reading an interesting book. I like to dive deep into other new cultures and explore how other people live, work and enjoy this life of ours. This is how I think one grows and learns naturally about the wonders of the world - thru experience. I recently started a challenge for myself to keep smiling everyday, more of a reminder to keep doing this as it brings joy to myself and others.
I'm now working as a sales person in a small tech start-up and I hope I'll finally have the chance to try the digital nomad life. Let's see, 'van life' is next on my list!
I used to live for few months in Japan and experienced both university and business culture. A lot of friends live and study in Japan or S. Korea, so both seems like a second home. Hope I'll have the chance to visit more and explore other countries in the region, too.

More details about my language interests
I'm interested in refreshing and practicing my Japanese. I'm currently learning Brazilian Portuguese, so can help with this (it's my active language). I use Bulgarian and English on a daily basis, so can also teach and help with them.

More details about your skills

I've always been working in big corporate companies, recently I joined a start-up. The only time when I worked free lance was when I reached ballroom and latino dances for 1 year. Before that it was more of a side project and half-day occupation for about 4 years during university.
I've always been fascinated by Japanese traditional arts and fine arts in general. I can draw, sing, dance, play the drums, curious by nature I like and learn different languages. Talking about arts, I enjoy crafting and creating things with my hands.
I'm very good with maps and orientation, so traveling in the city or out in nature is a pleasant experience.
Love my bike and I'm always happy when I go cycling, ideally in a park or nature spot.
I'm currently working at a small tech start-up, so I could say that I'm tech savvy in a way. Used to work with various nationalities across the globe, well organised and working from home.

What else ...

I used to play in a band, I'm a drummer, naturally wadaiko are of huge interest. As I like different cultures, I dance salsa, bachata. Also started playing capoeira (Brazilian martial art) which involves a lot of dancing, music, brazilian songs and the actual acrobatics.
Bulgarian folklore dances are also quite interesting and I can teach some.
I used to fold origami a lot. Now I like to stay fit by cycling, doing yoga and meditation.
