Description

After a sudden downsizing in the company I worked for the last 19 years, I was sent home with a modest unemployment package and a whole year ahead of me to reflect on my life and to explore the opportunities which the world can offer. It was my dream for a long time to travel, work and live without day-to-day plans, family and children responcibilities and deadlines. As a long-term member of the Couchsurfing community (115 positive references so far) I've met many people roaming the world this way, wondering if I will get out of my comfort zone and do the same some day.
I believe I'm reliable and responsible person, trying to live in harmony with people and the nature.
Used to work for a Bulgarian IT company as a project manager, live alone. 61 y.o.

I am friendly, enjoy life, walks in the parks, music, movies, outdoor adventures - mountaneering, biking, kayaking, rock climbing, ski touring.

More details about your skills

Dear friends,
After many years of active Couchsurfing membership (with more than 100 references) now I have much more free time and decided to explore the longer stays abroad as an Workawayer by helping my hosts with everything they need - house sitting, gardening, cooking, taking care of elderly people, small house maintenance (painting, electricity...). I an in my 60s, love mountaneering, biking and kayaking. I am calm, honest and well organized, EU citizen. I live in Sofia, capital of Bulgaria, in a nice 2-bedroom appartment which I ofthen share for free with international Couchsurfing guest as a cultural exchange.
