ABOUT ME

hello,
have you ever think about the shortness of your life? if your answer is yes, you might be familiar with my point of view: it's quite important to have a destination but the way that leads there matters a lot as well.

i am open minded, cheerful and like meeting new friends from different part of the world. my friends call me cori, and it's easier to pronounce than gyöngyi, so feel free to use my nickname, if you write me.

PHILOSOPHY

experiment - fail - learn - create
