Have you ever been to my homeland? If you like to travel, see new places and people, I would be happy to talk to you. My name is Gena Zhivkova and I can tell you about my living country, with a rich culture and history. I am a Doctor of Science in the Fine Arts. I'm an artist, graphic designer, illustrator, teacher, make up artist and more. 🎨 For me, art and culture are a way of life. I speak Bulgarian and English. If you love arts too, let's make friends. I am always open to new friends with whom I can improve my language skills and learn something new. And please. Respect people's personal space. I'm not here to look for a man. I'm here to socialize, communicate, learn new things and maintain my language culture. Be polite!
