Even though you've been a part of the team for some time now, we'd love to welcome you once again</STRONG><span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":sparkles:">✨</span><span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":party_popper:">🎉</span><STRONG> Can you tell us a bit more about yourself?</STRONG></P> <P> </P> <P>-<EM> Hey folks, I'm Desislava, but most people call me Dessi, since it's shorter and easier. I'm 26, came to the capital 7 years ago to study at uni, but stayed here afterwards and am hoping to move somewhere a bit less crowded and hectic soon <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":crossed_fingers:">🤞</span> I really enjoy learning new languages and after studying English and German in school, I decided to go for something similar in uni, so I chose Scandinavian Studies, which is basically philology and Nordic Countries 101 with an intensive studying of 2 languages - Swedish and Danish in my case. I also understand Italian quite well, but can't really speak it apart from the basics <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":grinning_face_with_sweat:">😅</span> I really love traveling and if I didn't have to work, I'd probably be on the road all the time.</EM></P> <P> </P> <P><STRONG data-stringify-type="bold"><SPAN>Do you have any pets or would you like to own one? <span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-right" image-alt="20221126_103445.jpg" style="width: 189px;"><img src="https://community.spotify.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/177299i6CCCEC7E3F1519AB/image-size/medium?v=v2&px=400" role="button" title="20221126_103445.jpg" alt="20221126_103445.jpg" /></span></SPAN></STRONG></P> <P> </P> <P>- <EM>My parents and I got a cat 14 years ago, but she lives with them because I didn't want to stress her out and change her environment when I moved away from home. My dad's nickname is 4 paws, because he's always saving stray animals and trying to find them a home, I guess I got that love for animals from him. At one point we had around 12 cats living in our house's yard as well as 2 stray dogs we managed to save from the streets. The dogs lived a long life, but sadly passed away in the last few years, so we rescued another one a couple of months ago and are really happy about it!</EM></P> <P> </P> <P><STRONG>If you could have a superpower, what would it be?</STRONG></P> <P> </P> <P>-<EM> If I could have a superpower, it'd definitely want to be able to teleport myself wherever and whenever I want. It's basically travelling for free and can also be very useful if you don't want to sit in traffic all day <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:">🤣</span></EM></P> <P> </P> <P><STRONG>What kind of music are you into and can you share some tunes with us?</STRONG></P> <P> </P> <P>- <EM>I listen to almost everything - I think the only genre I don't like is dubstep tbh.

I don't think I have a special hobby, but I really like cooking and experimenting in the kitchen. I almost forgot about puzzles, since I haven't done one recently - once I start doing a puzzle I can't rest until it's done. This is a bit demanding because I don't go for puzzles under 1000 pieces and it usually takes me a whole day.</EM></P> <P> </P> <P><STRONG>Last, but not least - the inevitable question - coffee/tea or neither and why?</STRONG></P> <P> </P> <P>-<EM> Tough one </EM><span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:">😄</span><EM> I've always equally enjoyed coffee and tea, coffee was never a wake-up or energy boosting necessity for me, I just like the taste of it, but I stopped drinking normal coffee some years ago and now I only go for decaf when I feel like it. So it turns out I'm a tea person after all, good to know</EM> <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:">😁</span></P> <P> </P> <P><STRONG>Thanks for sharing these details about yourself Desi and a</STRONG><STRONG>lso, thanks everyone for sticking around <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":folded_hands:">🙏</span></STRONG></P> <P> </P> <P>Stay tuned for the next Backstage Intro coming soon.
