The British “Daily Mail” published a large article about the 33-year-old Bulgarian Desislava Dobreva, who created a multi-million dollar online business while traveling to 40 countries around the world, and now lives in London, BNR reported, quoted by burgas24.bg.

Desislava Dobreva is a digital nomad, i.e. a person who travels freely while working remotely using the Internet, the publication wrote. She grew up in poverty in Bulgaria, with her parents going broke to afford her going to Denmark to study brand management.

Upon graduation, however, she didn't go home, but went out into the world, using her knowledge to lay the foundations of an online business in branding, which is a communication function in marketing that involves analyzing and planning the positioning of a brand in the market.

She now owns a global education consultancy that operates under her name and helps others build successful brands.

Desislava Dobreva has visited many countries around the world, including Thailand, the USA, Guatemala, Italy, Romania and Spain, and at the beginning she worked odd jobs to support herself, and all she needed was a cafe with internet to be able to to develop his business, devoting 18 hours a day to it.

She says success came unexpectedly quickly, making six figures in the first eight months to "break out" in a multi-million enterprise during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Desislava now lives in London, where she feels comfortable. Her company now has five more members – two in the UK, two in Portugal and one in India, so she doesn't have to work more than two to four hours a day. However, she continues to travel, with Africa now in her sights.
