About Me
I am Bulgarian, female, working as associate professor in informatics at the University of Sofia, Bulgaria.
My Family
I am lucky to have an understanding husband (who is a colleague as well) and two sons who make my life happy and busy. We live in Sofia - the capital of Bulgaria - and when life becomes too intensive, we escape to some of our gorgeous mountains or to the beautiful Black Sea. We all speak English and like friends and traveling.
