My name is Ana and I'm from Porto, Portugal. I live in Budapest with my partner, Filomena. We have a peaceful and deliberate home that we are open to sharing with travelers. We're a fluid and respectful couple who will always mimic whatever positivity we're shown. We've traveled a lot ourselves and have so often been blessed with acts of kindness from strangers via hitchhiking and having places to stay. We're eager to recycle this energy!

I'm a soft and integrated person whose interests lay heavily in community and artistic expression. I participate in many happenings around the dance world, specifically in Contact Improvisation. While I find myself more at home in nature and organic settings, I try to create a space for myself in this city. I love to read poetry and critical theory texts; especially those on feminism and queer issues. From time to time, I practice analog photography and I enjoy capturing beautiful and unique nuances of life around me. I also love absorbing new cultures, cuisines, and languages - so, please, come open to sharing yourself with us! :)

Hello! My name is Filomena, I'm from the United States. Though, I've lived in Budapest for the majority of my formative adulthood. I spent some time traveling and now have established a, still quite transient, settling here. I'm a lazy artist and a not quite as lazy poet. I adore contemporary art and writing and thought, and love to read and share the secrets we keep in these fields. I like dancing to heavy bass, lushness, finding trash in the street, making lists, being queer, feeling free and accepted in doing so. A major passion of mine exists in cooking, while it's not always perfect - it's often delicious and I'm starving for exposure to new recipes and other culture's cuisines. I'm excited to open our home to anyone who's excited to be here :)
