CURRENT MISSION

To visit every country in the world; over half-way there.

ABOUT ME

Trained originally as biochemist and a linguist, then decided to follow a career in medicine, now working as a doctor to be found across different hospitals throughout the UK. My true passion is travel and languages and exploring everything that this beautiful planet has to offer, from the delicious foods, drinks and amazing people, I love getting off the beaten track and to live every moment to the fullest. I do my best to live an absolutely non-stop life and make the most of every day that I have!

Made it to 101 countries visited in November 2019.

PHILOSOPHY

"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page." -St Augustine

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have had the pleasure of surfing some wonderful people's couches across the United States and throughout Europe, Asia and Africa, and hosted at my quaint flat back in Hungary. Although I'd like to host more often, work often gets in the way, but even if I can't host, I'd be interested in meeting up for a drink.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been a member of CS for almost a decade, and returning to the CS life after missing it for many years. I enjoy meeting new people while traveling and hope to show others around when I'm at home. It really is the best way to get to know someplace.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn about anything I don't know. Anything. I love to talk about travel, especially ways of finding cheap/free airfare, so if you want to fly for next to nothing, I'm your man. I'll probably have an opinion on any topic, no matter how obscure, and am glad to share it!
