Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
the very current is to catch your attention and make you interested in more info. for example the meaning of Hungarian word 'csübellintő'.
ABOUT ME
I study psychology but no, I DON'T see your thoughts :)
My strategy was to leave this until last and... that' the result.
Lesson: never leave this until last.
Deep thoughts. Go on.
PHILOSOPHY
No useless worry and hurry. Not to hurt and to be the balance(d) if someone lacks it.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I like to share memories and feelings about the cities I go to, and the best way to do it is with likeminded locals. I like to both host and surf and if you give me a little time, I can provide you some more or less interesting facts about quite any city, what don't know even locals :)
Currently I live in Hungary, but I am staying in Italy, in the city of the third tallest brickwork bell tower in the world (according to Wikipedia, so who knows?) and I think the most violin makers per capita, which would be Cremona.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I started my travelling career as a lonely traveller to misc European cities, Rome at the age of 17 and London a year later. Very good experiences were these, as I don't mind travelling and exploring places alone.
I also like to share this time with others, so don't worry, I can be quite sociable ;)
One of my favourite travel experiences in Italy is when we went to Bologna without a plan where to sleep at, and at the end we slept in the center of Bologna in a van with an opened roof :)
Lately I was travelling among the islands of Indonesia for six months. It was an intense period, I experienced and learned quite a lot of new things. Most of the time I was travelling alone, but I never felt lonely. I experienced how generous Indonesian people can be, as most of the time almost strangers invited me to stay in their house and shared their family time, food, practically everything with me. I am very grateful for their generosity, so when I have the possibility to pass it on to other travellers, I am happy to do it.
Interests
I like to.. write lists for example, so this is one of the things I really like to do. :)
So I like to:
trust others, volunteer, travel without plans, wander around the city escpecially during the afternoon lights, upcycle, take photos of nuns riding a bike,
moreover I like:
extremities and things in the middle (Autumn), textures and perfumes (and all the memories they bring up), nice coincidences, microhistory, language games, Chinese tea culture, Hungarian folk dances, old books, buttons, sarcasm and absurd, broken cups and old books, ..
In general I like things that are usually considered as strange, useless or shabby. It is good for everyone because we are not competing for the resources ;)

to the other end of the scale:
a Bach chorale; Monty Python; magical realism; The cook, the thief, his wife and her lover; Hundertwasser, the complex taste of a puerh tea, or just a bit of 60s on the bike.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I was kissed by a llama once, not so long ago. I can prove it.
And I read a very long book which was compulsory in school, 13 times. 14. And I liked it.
Teach, Learn, Share
As a future psych, I can listen very well :)
I love to talk about intellectual stuffs and so, exchanging experiences, being in flow, and talking about dreams. Not having an exact plan.
I like when somebody notices and appreciates little things, and doesn't want to show off or confront others unnecessarily.
If you want, I can speak about Chinese teas for hours, or teach you how to fold an origami pig.
And ok, here's the solution: 'csübellintő' actually doesn't mean anything, I've made it up, because I like its sound. But I think it could be a folk dance or a pot containing pure water. At least in Hungarian. And in your language?
