About Me

I'm a communicative, friendly, extroverted and open-minded person who wants to get to know other cultures, languages and people from other countries and practise her language skills. :)
I still couldn't visit so many places as I wanted but I've realized that you can't live a full life if you don't travel enough and explore so many places and cultures as possible. That's why I've decided in 2018 to register on CS and move abroad first for 10 weeks to Bavaria and in September 2019 to Austria. Every people I've met through CS so far were incredibly kind, open-minded, positive and helpful - whether they were hosts, surfers or both - that's why I think CS collects the best people from all over the world.. so I'm really thankful for being part of this community and having so amazing friends thanks to CS. :)

My motto is the following:
"Treat others in such a way, how you would like to be also treated!"

~ "Die Freiheit besteht darin, dass man alles tun kann, was einem anderen nicht schadet. "
(Matthias Claudius)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In my opinion, if you want to get to know a culture and a country - at least a little bit -, you also have to get to know locals. :)
I do love to learn languages and I'm always happy if I can practice and learn new things, not just concerning the languages. I think we can learn from everybody something new and we can always share our experiences and knowledge with others and try to make them happier, even for a little while. :)
Additionally, I believe that Couchsurfing helps to teach you how to go out from your comfort zone and how to trust in strangers and have a great time with them.
This site completely changed my life - in a very positive way - and I can't be thankful enough for one of my best friends who showed it to me and tried it together with me for the first time in Brno, Czechia. Thanks to CS I've became even more open-minded, tolerant and also motivated for having a life which is worth to live, surrounded by the most awesome people of this planet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was studying at the university 3 languages at the same time besides I had to work too.
why? maybe this quote is able to explain it to you. :)
"If you talk to a man in a language he understands that goes to his head.
If you talk to him in his language that goes to his heart."
Nelson Mandela

During my life until today, I was living together all in all with almost 30 people.
Probably that's why I can adapt so easily and that's why I know - at least Hungarian - people quite well.
I've also learned how to treat people and how to help them. So I'm really grateful for these experiences.

My very first time abroad was whenI've spent one week working in Italy at a beautiful place which is on the list of UNESCO World Heritages. (Santa Maria del Monte/Sacro Monte di Varese - Nort Italy - 807 meter above the sea level - check it and visit it, trust me, it's worth it;))

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Hungarian, German and a bit of Swedish if required.
If you are curious I'm happy to tell you about my experiences so far regarding Couchsurfing, studying, working, travelling, living abroad, learning languages etc. :-)
And of course, I'm happy if you tell me more about your passion, daily motivation, culture, language, experiences or whatever you do really love to share with others.

If you want to visit Vienna and need some recommendations etc., feel free to ask me. I'm also happy to hang out if I can afford it during your stay. (The earlier you tell me that you are coming and need someone to hang out with, the more chance you have to meet me.:))

I'm also here for you if you want to visit Hungary in the future but you still have some questions regarding anything (public transportation, what to eat/drink etc.)

If you want to visit Budapest but you don't know what you could do here, check these sites:

If you are interested in what kind of music is actually made by Hungarians, you can check my own list which is full of - mostly, but not only rock and metal - songs by Hungarian bands.
