Would you introduce yourself?

K: I'm most often called Korni, but my name is Kornelia. I live with a smile on my face, a pure heart, and an adventurous spirit. I work in marketing and communications, and in my free time, I seek unforgettable views.

Sea or mountains?

K: I am the girl who loves forests, mountains, and small country roads, but still ends up at the sea.

With a big company or just with your closest friends?

K: Only with good people.

Sunrise or sunset?

K: From sunrise to sunset.

Picnic in the park or garden party?

K: Picnic in the park and romance on a rooftop.

Do you snack on the road?

K: Every time.

Sweet or salty?

K: Salty first, then sweet. And then salty again.

Chips or pretzels?

K: Banana chips and pretzels.

Ice cream or chocolate?

K: Ice cream, but not chocolate flavored.

Nuts or snacks?

K: Nuts.

Sunday afternoon – alone or with friends?

K: A walk alone and a chat with friends.

Audiobook or paper book?

K: Paper.

Cinema or movie at home?

K: I think I'm equally game for both.

Extreme experience or a light walk in the mountains?

K: A walk in the mountains along a winding path.

Silence or music?

K: In the city – good music, in nature – silence.

What is the perfect summer experience?

K: Romantic, spontaneous, no precise plan, just a small backpack.

What is your favorite place in Bulgaria in the summer?

K: I like the mountains, and I would say the Rhodopes and the Balkan Mountains. And if we're talking about sea views, then Sinemorets.

This season you will visit…?
K: One or two festivals, and everything else I'll leave to spontaneous impulses.

The 10 products you'll take with you on an adventure?

K: Bett'r cashew tahini generously spread on apple chips. I love everything from Kookie Cat, but I think my favorites are the cookie with salted caramel and almonds, as well as the one with cacao nibs and walnuts. Oh, and the mini version of the cookies with vanilla and chocolate chips is amazing. Dried figs and banana chips from Bio Klasa, because you always need energy on an adventure. The raw balls with Ashwagandha and Mango from RooBiotic are exactly what you need to pull out in front of a steep hill. It got a little sweet, didn't it? I balance it out with Captain Kombucha with cayenne pepper and Bett'r's coconut chips with chili.
