Hi! So nice that you dropped by my profile! Coffee, tea maybe? :)

My name is Ilona. I'm an outgoing person with a huge passion for traveling, meeting new people, trying new things (including foooooooood), exchanging experiences and stories. I try to travel abroad at least 6 times a year and I spend crazy amount of time browsing cheap flights services. Now, since I work full-time, I don't have as much time as I used to have during my student times, but I still try to travel as much as I can - I can't remember the weekend spent at home! :)

Happiness in only real, when shared.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

People make my best memories. And can play board games and drink beer with you, which is nice.

Interests

- contemporary circus arts (I used to be a hula-hoop dancer and instructor, now I'm keen on aerial acrobatics)
- traveling (especially hitch-hiking)
- psychology
- dark humor memes (and I'm a big Cards Against Humanity lover, with my own - self-made - deck)
- Hungary (especially one cute Hungarian boy ;))
- traveling books, books about other cultures
- foreign languages (I learn German and Hungarian now)

My nuh-nuh's: I'm not a party animal, I hate clubs where you can not dance without hitting other people, not a fan of getting shitwasted and I'm not interested in new romance/flirting experiences, therefore if one of the above is your must-point on your travel list, it really will be better for you if you find someone else.

Yes, please: exploring the city by public transport and reaching some non-popular-but-cool points in the coolest city in the world, attending events as festivals or concerts, drinking beer somewhere in the city (and hide from police, since public drinking is forbidden in Poland ;)), discussing about life, playing board- or drinking games, sightseeing, chilling on the riverbank, cooking and learning each others' languages. If you feel like doing so yourself - feel free to drop by my flat :)

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Breaking into abandoned Glass Bank in Bosnia and Herzegovina the middle of the night and climbing to the top - the most amazing view of my life so far.

The story of how me and my boyfriend got together is one of the craziest and most international things that happened in my life, too!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Polish and Hungarian swear words, recommend you some not-so-oh-touristic places and exchange traveling experience.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can cook something (I'm really curious about vegan kitchen despite not being vegan myself, so if you can teach me something, that would be cool!), play board games, drink beer and exchange stories.

Please note that I work full-time, so most likely I will not have time to show you around during the daytime or even join you for sightseeing in the afternoon, but I'm totally up for a beer in my flat in the evening. :)
