I was born and raised in the quaint town of Krichim, nestled at the foothills of the mystical Rhodope Mountains. It took many years for me to appreciate the beauty of this picturesque place. As I grew up – especially during my teenage years – I found my hometown too small and uncomfortable for my searching soul! I was so eager to grow up quickly that by seventeen, I was already a student at the university in Veliko Tarnovo. At twenty-three, I was building a career in finance in Sofia. Young and ambitious, with my determination and work ethic, I managed to reach the position of financial director in a prestigious fashion company. Despite my deep dedication to my career and the progress within it, I had the unsettling feeling that something was missing.

At thirty years old, I experienced burnout, and that's when a new chapter in my life began. The veil over my inner fears lifted, and I started the process of self-discovery, searching for the missing pieces in the bigger picture.
