I was born in the ancient city of Plovdiv. My town was created thousands of years ago in an area surrounded by seven hills next to the river Maritsa. According to Wikipedia, Plovdiv is one of the oldest cities in Europe. The Wikipedia article says thay "It (Plovdiv) is a contemporary of Troy and Mycenae, and older than Rome, Carthage or Constantinople."

Plovdiv is a city of history and spirit. I walk down the cobblestone streets between the Renaissance houses of the Old Plovdiv, I pass by our old churches and I reach the ancient walls of Evmolpia. From there I can see my city, the hills, the roofs of the houses, the Maritsa river, the mountains, the sky, the Sun. That is it, that is me...

Now I live in Italy, another country full of history. However, my city and my country still live in me.

I am married. I have two sons for whom the World is a big challenge and adventure :-)
My wife is teaching Bulgarian language and literature.
I spend most of my free time with my family. Sometimes I like to create computer programs just for fun. I also like reading books, magazines and articles on the Web, listening to classical and electronic music, etc.
