Profile Information

Are you connected to the tourism/travel/hospitality industries or travel media in any way? If so, please specify how (kindly include any relevant company names/Web sites!).: As a consultant, I provide a unique blend of tourism marketing, communications design and social computing expertise. Culture discovery is the passion of my life. Over the last 20 years I discovered and immersed myself in the cultures of Bulgaria, Spain, Portugal, and the United States.

The cultural (r)evolution started by the internet has now empowered every one of us to discover exotic and exciting places with just a few clicks on our computer. It also provided an opportunity for tavel professionals to create and market new tourism products and expand the geographies of cultural reach to vaster audiences. This new cultural realm of technology and tourism is where you can find me now.

A global nomad, I live in Florida (USA) and Bulgaria (EU), dedicating my entire time to the fast-evolving business of cultural tourism. I consult tour operators, cultural institutions, government agencies, regional development centers, NGOs and private companies in Europe and the USA. I also find time to work on my Ph.D. thesis, a history triller and a book, Imaginary Reality, for the Bulgarian Ministry of Culture.
