My Journey to India ::
Freedom, Magic, and Ancient Culture

If I reflect on my travels in India—or more specifically, Goa—you can see how both Goa and I have grown, changed, and evolved over time. Goa has become more modern, fancy, and luxurious, with new and exciting attractions. Similarly, I’ve transformed as well. In the beginning, I came to this wild, simple land seeking an escape from vanity and stress—a retreat from the world, pure relaxation. But as the years went by, the places I visited became more modern, my wardrobe shifted from traditional Indian attire to the styles I love and wear in Europe, and the humble beachside bungalows I stayed in were replaced by boutique hotels with luxurious comforts. Not the big, touristy ones, but charming Portuguese-style villas with elegant settings and fascinating people.

Goa has changed, and so have I. But what remains constant, the essence of why I return, is the FREEDOM—the carefree spirit of childhood, the earthy scent of soil, the feel of bare feet on the ground... Timelessness!

I look back on my first visit in 2009 with a sigh of nostalgia. Goa was so untamed then. Aging hippies, remnants of the counterculture movement, smoked on the beaches, basking in the sun. The food was simple but delicious, cooked fresh as many of the small beach shacks didn’t even have refrigerators. Waiting took time, but everything was made fresh. Oh, and those legendary juice centers! They had everything you could imagine—from all corners of the world, all in one place! 😊

My journey began with landing in Goa. After spending five days in this paradise, I set off with a group on a month-long exploration of India. Along the way, I ventured off on my own in some places, rejoined parts of the group in others, only to part ways again later. It was a grand adventure full of unforgettable moments, which I captured with my camera and turned into a 45-minute film. I love humor, exploring, teasing people, being playful, and embracing life with wild energy.

All this and more can be seen in the video below the photos: My First Travel to India.

... Nights in Marbela

Marbela Beach, set on the sunny shores of Goa, is more than just a resort – it’s a perfect mix of luxury, relaxation, and lively nightlife. After sunset, it transforms into a vibrant beach club, famous for hosting unforgettable parties. With live DJs, a lively crowd, and the starlit sky above, nights at Marbela are truly magical.

During my time in India, I had the privilege of working at Marbela Beach as a bartender – an experience that became a defining chapter of my journey. Working at Marbela gave me a unique view of life in Goa. During the day, I saw the peaceful side of the resort, with guests relaxing on sunbeds, enjoying drinks, and taking in the beautiful ocean views. At night, the energy completely changed, and I became part of the lively atmosphere, where music, dancing, and laughter lit up the beach.

... Rama – The Healer of Goa


Whenever someone asks me if Rama is truly a healer, I always share this story:

Three years ago, during my time in Goa, I was paralyzed from the waist down after a motorbike accident. For 10 agonizing days, I lay in bed, barely able to move without excruciating pain. I had lost all hope of recovery after trying every possible treatment from masseurs and physiotherapists, none of which helped. Then Rama appeared.

In just five minutes of his therapy, I could not only walk but also lightly jog on the beach. The next day, I was even dancing at a nearby club. I've witnessed people arrive with crutches and leave without them after his sessions. While I can’t vouch for the effects of his energy healing for emotional or spiritual issues, since I haven't experienced those myself, his physical healing powers are undeniable.

One ordinary day in Goa, I woke up, had my usual breakfast of fresh fruits and milk coffee at a local café, and went about my routine. Suddenly, I started feeling unwell. My stomach bloated, I felt weak, and the pain became so unbearable that I curled up on the bed trembling. I couldn’t figure out what was happening, but I suspected it might have been the papaya I ate earlier.

Panicking, I called Rama, who lives nearby. He gave me a handful of tiny seeds mixed with black salt to drink and began what he calls his "meditation" — a ritual to clear energy blockages. His method involves absorbing negative energy and releasing it from his body, often through loud burps or retching sounds. The severity of the sounds corresponds to the intensity of the problem. It’s not pleasant to witness, but it works.

To my disbelief, the moment he placed his hands on me, I felt calmer. By the time he finished his prayers and rituals, all my pain had vanished. Completely gone.

Until that day, I didn’t believe in such things. But I couldn’t deny the evidence before me. Rama’s healing abilities are real.

Thanks to a post I made about him two years ago, many people from Bulgaria began seeking him out for various issues, and he has always made time to help. He spends hours daily on Facebook assisting people remotely, which amazes me. I can’t say how effective his distance healing is, but the feedback speaks for itself — there are many happy and grateful people.

Rama has since healed me several times, including remotely when I was in Europe. We eventually discovered I’d developed an allergy to papaya, and each time I had a reaction, Rama was there to help me recover, even from across continents.

Rama’s methods may be unconventional, but his compassion, dedication, and results are extraordinary. For those seeking hope when all else fails, he truly is a magician of Goa.

... Best Moments of 2016


My Experience in India from 2016
As a lifelong athlete, one of my professions is being a fitness trainer. However, my dynamic lifestyle, love for change, travel, exploring new horizons, and the freedom to act often leave little time for this passion.

In 2016, I was invited as a guest fitness instructor to one of the most fascinating cities in India – Hyderabad, known as the City of Diamonds and a hub for the IT industry. Specifically, I worked at the ultra-luxurious Apollo Life Studio. The studio’s owner, Upasana Kamineni, is the daughter of the founders of Apollo Hospitals in India, and her husband, Ram Charan, is a well-known actor in the Telugu film industry. At the time, my then-partner was training Ram Charan, while I trained Upasana.

We were treated like stars, staying for two months in a beautiful hotel with meals and services covered by them. The hospitality was incredible. Billboards featuring me were displayed across the city, commercials aired, and people flocked to us from all over for training.

In my free time, I had four hours daily when I became a “test subject” for teams training in Apollo’s massage center. This meant I was pampered with massages from head to toe for four hours every day. What more could anyone ask for?

Fitness has always been a part of who I am, and perhaps one day, I’ll return to training people. I have experience in designing workout programs, creating aerobics routines with various elements and intensity levels, and incorporating stretching, which is so beneficial for the body. All of this, combined with healthy nutrition—which is arguably 50% or more of any fitness journey—makes for a holistic approach to well-being.
