Interest

Hiking

Nature and mountains are my biggest passion.

Books

My second biggest passion. Prefer classical literature and sci-fi. Some of my favorites are Crime and Punishment, Dune, Ender's Game and many of the Disk World.

Astronomy

Old and slightly forgotten hobby of mine with big impact on my life.

Informal education

I find the good education to be the only real perspective for both individual and society for better life. In the year after teaching in Sofia University I used to work with middle and high school students and participated in NGOs.
