About

Stefan Marinov

My name is Stefan Marinov.

My name is Stefan Marinov. I was born and raised in the lovely town of Varna, Bulgaria. Currently, however, I live in Karlsruhe, Germany and study Mechanical Engineering at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.

Since my very early years, science has been taking a huge amount of my time. For example, I took part in a number of high-school competitions mostly in mathematics, physics, astronomy and computer science. Today one can still find mainly scientific books and magazines on my shelves. Nonetheless, I am increasingly starting to read more and more fiction. It turned out to be really great!

In my spare time, I like getting acquainted with, what I would call, interesting people and ideas, with the latter being able to mean just about anything, which is a result of ingenuity, hard work or simply knowledge about where and how to search for the necessary information in order to realise an idea. Strangely for most, I do some of this “exploration” in languages which I have never studied. Of course, I don’t understand everything, but I do appreciate the experience I gain from doing so. It’s both more fulfilling and making me think outside the box than traditional communication and use of different information media in my mother tongue, or any language which I am relatively comfortable using for that matter.

Some of my other hobbies include programming, “proper” language learning and sport. Previously, I trained martial arts: judo, kyokushin karate and jiu jitzu. At present, I prefer cycling, running and simply working out in the gym. Moreover, I used to be an inline skater, but I haven’t done this for quite a long time now.

Obviously, I like writing as well and it’s the main reason for the existence of this blog. However, lack of style and innate sense of the language are quite possible as I am not a native English speaker. That is why I would appreciate any help.
