Here is my short professional CV :-))
In 1998, parallel with my studies I did a 6
months Cultural guides’ course of the most serious tourism industry state
structure – BALKANTOURIST with French which I had learned myself for about 2
and half years. Since then I began leading foreign tourists in Bulgaria.
In 2002 I graduated “International Tourism”
bachelor degree in University of Economy in Sofia where I brushed up the French
thanks to Mr. Lubomir Lekov.
During that time with other colleagues, had
several, the very first in Bulgaria, trainings from French mountain leaders and
guides.
Later I made a good foundation in practical use
of English with a private teacher - professor Slavtcho Ribarski who worked at
Sofia University, fluent in 5 languages. Then, I followed courses in British
Council in Sofia.
Since 2007 I was visiting UK where obtained
some mountain training in Plas-y-Brenin (Wales) and Lake District. Probably, I
was the first Bulgarian that had International Mountainbike Leader award.
During that time I had the chance to approach the mountain in Snowdonia, Scottland, Lake district.
Meantime I was working for 7 years in French
diplomatic school “Victor Hugo” where for a month I had to be Head Educational
Advisor.
Later I worked in a multinational company producing
storage tanks, translating between French and English, elaborating and helping
implementation of the Safety Plan acquiring Electricite de France standards.
Translation to holding’s Head Department on business negotiations with EDF and
other subcontractors in Paris, Lithuania, Reunion Island.
Since 2013 I regularly translate to trade
travels of Bulgarian businessmen.
In between 2012-2013 I learned Spanish with a Spanish
teacher and had the chance to spend some time in Spain.
In the second half of 2013 I studied
intensively Russian with private teacher and in March 2014 made intensive one
month Russian Language course in Moscow (MGU - Московский государственный университет).
As expert, in between 2011-2012, I designed,
cleaned and marked about 250km of MTB itineraries on 3 levels (for beginners,
intermediate, advanced riders) upon a project called “Mount-a-bike” in
North-Western Bulgaria.
Meanwhile, up to now I was organizing numerous
MTB one day races (including the most beautiful in Belogradchik and the most
difficult in Vratsa). Sometimes I participate in other events as a racer.
Since 2015 year I practice trail running.
