Svetlin Marinov has been an enthusiastic geocacher since 2005 and is one of the most active players in Bulgaria. As a pro on the topic, he has valuable advice and experience to share with you:

- Every cache hunt is a great opportunity to go somewhere new, discover new places, let others tell you a nice place that they know of and take you there. You never know what adventures you will have to go through in order to find the cache at the end.

- Finding the approximate cache location is hardly the end of your adventure, because you have to actually find the container itself. Caches can come in many shapes and sizes. “I’ve heard of a geocache that is as big as a room, and located underground. There are caches in caves, fields, forests, abandoned mines or just your common city cache hidden below a bench or near a tree in the park where you can take your kids as well, providing fun for the whole family.”

- Be the first to find a cache and win special FTF (first-to-find) prizes – go after one of the 17 undiscovered caches in Bulgaria.

- Join the online geocaching community in Bulgaria on geocaching-bulgaria.com: “We have a forum where we discuss our ideas, meetings and geocaching stories; and sometimes we even create “geocaching events,” Svetlin says, “that is, you set the time, date and the co-ordinates where everyone is invited to join in for an event – in most cases an event goes by eating, drinking, discussing, exchanging geocaching items and finding/hiding new geocaches in the area around.”
