- As a student, Dim wrote the first-ever thesis on the integrity of automotive journalism and its use for marketing purposes.
- He took an apprenticeship at the Malta classic car museum, where he worked on classic cars like Jaguar E-Types and Alfa Romeos, and scored an interview with the museum's owner as part of an independent media project.
- After more than 15 years of driving all types of four-wheeled vehicles, Dim entered the world of motorcycles, where he found a new passion for life on two wheels and long-distance travels.
Experience
Dimitar started as a ghostwriter in 2014, eventually transitioning to a full-time automotive journalist in 2018. His work includes creating content on DRIVETRIBE, TopSpeed.com, HotCars.com, Motorheads.com, TorqueNews.com, and his personal blog, where he shares his knowledge and passion about cars and, more recently, motorcycles. Dim's automotive passion doesn't just extend to writing about cars. He also loves driving them, sometimes to the limit. He is a firm believer that to be a good driver, one must know how a car works, which is why he took up an apprenticeship at a classic car museum, where he worked on 1960s classics. At the same time, Dim graduated with his third higher degree - Media and Communications. Dimitar is happy to get behind the wheel of any car or swing a leg over any motorcycle, so he can tell you all about it later.
Education
Dimitar completed a Bachelor's degree in International Economic Relations and a Master's degree in Marketing. He later studied abroad, completing a Master of Arts in Media and Communications.
