My name is Atanas Kutsev. I graduated Journalism in 2013.
I love both travelling and photography. And I have been travelling quite a lot for the past years. The trip of my life was when I did a volunteer programme in Nepal, teaching English to Buddhist monks. I was living in their monastery for 2 months. I tried to capture their life, habits, to show how different they are.
Happiness is something we are all aiming at in our lives. We seek it in the supernatural, in meditation, sometimes even in the material things. The little monks do not own many things, they don’t have the freedom we have; they are devoted to Buddhism and have a pretty difficult life. However, they are extremely happy and grateful to what they have. They are humble and disciplined.
