That page should be short and dry. I never feel secure and confident to describe or promote myself. For that reason not so many people really know me. And I feel good about that 🙂
Because that is my travel blog lets fill this page with facts about my outdoor experience.
I’m born August 1976 in Sofia. I start hiking in Vitosha mountain and other mountains around very early. In secondary school I collect a lot absence from classes spend a time in mountain. Even after army with friend almost year we hike round Lozenska mountain to make a guide book. Everything finish when he left project with all data… Still I keep some facts that allow me to create a touristic map. But about that, later.
In university I meet a friend that introduce me world of caves. And in 1999 I finish my speleo course and start caving.
