Description
I’m an artist with a background in IT, and I have a deep passion for storytelling and visual arts. My favorite medium is comics, and I’m currently working on a graphic novel set in Chernobyl in the year 2108.

Feeling connected to my body is important to me and my daily routine includes practicing yoga and meditation. Sport is an important part of my daily routine and I like running, cycling, hiking and bouldering.

I feel comfortable to spend time on my own and my host doesn't need to feel in charge of entrateing me.

I like to challenge myself stepping out of my comfort zone. One way I do that is by learning a new skills, for example I'm learning to play bansuri.

I have strong practical skills and enjoy using creativity to solve problems. I'm seeking a group or community of open-minded, creative individuals to collaborate with and share knowledge. Specifically, I’m interested in delving into Bulgarian culture and folklore music, learning about local flora and fauna.
I’m currently learning Bulgarian and would love to learn how to prepare лютеница.

I can contribute to your project, and can make mini documentaries about it. I’m happy to help with cooking and cleaning or babysitting children between 5-10 years old—especially those who enjoy reading ;).
I can also teach you Italian and teaching you how to cook pasta like they do in restaurants.

It was a joy to have Gioia come to Burgas beach and help us making sand sculptures, holding sand sculpture workshops with a school class and making some cool videos of the sand art. She is easy going, very attentive and sweet, yet physically strong and she has endurance. Great company, I have fond memories of a day out on the bikes experiencing… read more

I spent a week in Burgas working with two amazing artists. They helped me find accommodation and showed me around the area.
I joined them for Bulgaria's most important festivity, the first of May. Together, we created four sculptures: a bust of Flora, a portrait of Henry Dunant, the Star Wars title, and a caricature wishing a friend a happy… read more

Gioia was great Workawayer! We worked together in the garden planting tomatoes, sowing peanuts, preparing the soil for the next sowings. We made reconstruction of the fundament of an old adobe wall, with stone and clay. She helped me with finishing the construction of a clay shelf in the bathroom, and she did excellent job. It is easy to… read more

Таньо was a fantastic host: kind, communicative, and very knowledgeable.
We worked with various plants like peanuts, tomatoes, and pumpkins. I learned a lot about working with clay and even got an introduction to beekeeping. One day, we took a walk around Plovdiv, where Tanyo generously showed me the main attractions and shared fascinating… read more

Chris was an excellent, kind, and generous host. He is a very creative person with a lot of passion, particularly for vintage motors and cars. He is a man of adventure and has traveled a lot in his life, with many intriguing stories to tell. He introduced me to a Buddhist temple in Katoomba and the local community, which made me feel very welcome.… read more

Gioia was a joy to host! An excellent helper who would take the initiative organising and cleaning around my place when needed. Gioia is a very intelligent and interesting young person who I enjoyed conversing with during her stay with me. Also very respectful of my space and had an active interest in the local community informing me of some local… read more
