About Me

CURRENT MISSION

“Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.”

ABOUT ME

I am a globetrotter, just like any of us here:) I am grateful for living the life I always wanted and I am grateful for having wonderful people around me. As in the end of the day, it's your friends, who make your world. I wouldn't be who I am now without them.
Some might see me energetic and courageous; the truth is that I passionately love life and believe in the good will of people.
What drives me to travel and work abroad is that I extremely enjoy challenges in a fully new environment; both professional and personal ones.

PHILOSOPHY

“When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It's my pleasure to host anyone who would like to see my beautiful city, provided I'm in Hungary.
Until then, get in the mood watching my favourite video about Budapest:

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My very first CS experience was in New York City, 2009 with Schuyler Klassen; it was so awesome that I can't even imagine not doing CS wherever I go. Afterwards, I stayed at Andres' (Barreiro Pardo) place in Brussels, it was hauntingly beautiful (I woke up to the view of the sunshine reflecting from the glass building of the European Parliament). Then I was staying with Onur in Istanbul; for the first time, I was hosted with 10 other CSers, and it was hilarious; I felt like I'm an exchange student again:) Right after, I was surfing Pierre's couch in Hong Kong - I loved meeting all those people and see all those wonderful places:) Upon my arrival to Singapore I stumbled across another wonderful person, Seetha Krishnan. She was my saving angel when I had to find my way and settle for my exchange semester in a short period of time. I am looking forward to meet some more awesome people from all over the globe:)

Interests

What grabs my attention right now is learning to focus my attention via practicing Vipassana.

Music, Movies, and Books

During my travels, you may find me reading my favourite book from Szepes Mária (Hungarian philosopher/writer); it's called 'Füveskönyv'.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Honestly, all my travels enriched me in so many different ways. There's especially one trip that transformed me the most: my trip to Kosovo. I was watching myself becoming more tolerant to inconveniences and appreciating the efforts of people even if they don't really have the means.
