About me

I’m a Bulgaria-based travel and geography writer and the creator of Journey Beyond the Horizon, an independent field-based travel/geography project.

My work focuses on destination research, route logic, overland travel, mountain regions, remote places, POI descriptions, original field photography, and practical local context. I’m especially interested in the space between travel media, geography, mapping, and real-world route experience.

I have worked on paid field content projects involving POI research, location descriptions, original photos, and lesser-known places. My strongest regions include Bulgaria, the Balkans, China, Eastern Tibet, Central Asia, and complex overland or mountain routes.

Why did you join the community?

I’m joining Travel Massive to connect with people working across travel media, destination content, mapping, travel tech, and field-based storytelling. I’m especially interested in collaborations around destination research, POI/location content, route and access notes, Bulgaria/Balkans travel knowledge, China-related travel context, and geography-informed travel projects.

What is your favorite travel destination?

The Balkans as a "test area". Beyond the Balkans: The "Roof of the World" (Tibet, Himalaya, Pamir, Tian Shan), and Indonesia

Where do you dream of traveling to?

Crossing Eurasia, crossing Siberia, Chang Tang plateau, Papua, Oceania.

What was your first travel job?

My first paid travel content assignment was with Touring Bird. I researched and documented lesser-known places and alternative angles on well-known landmarks in Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Beijing, providing original photos and short traveler-oriented descriptions for each location.

What do you want to learn more about?

I want to learn more about how travel media, destination platforms, mapping tools, and travel tech companies use field-based content, local expertise, photography, route knowledge, and POI/location data to create better travel experiences.

Three words that describe why we should travel?

Geography. Reality. Understanding.
