About Me

Please don't send requests for more than 1 week ahead, we usually don't have a fixed program and don't know what we do in a month :)

ABOUT ME

I'm a dedicated cyclist, but use public transport if circumstances force me to :) I did and do a lot of different sports. I did triathlon recently, once making the Ironman challenge as well.

In 2017 I started to plan a trip around the world by bike. I was already hosting people on couchsurfing and warmshowers (a place for cyclists), when in late September a Danish guy, Alan asked for a place to stay. He already started his open ended bike trip, but as we fell in love we lived together in Budapest during the winter, and continued from next year April. You can check our adventures here: https://singeronabike.com and on my instagram: https://www.instagram.com/singeronabike/

We finished our big trip in 2019 November after reaching Kyrgyzstan, flying back to Barcelona and cycling/hitchhiking up to Denmark, where we settled down for a few years. And of course we were hosted by so many amazing people that we want to pay it forward and give back to the community now. So if you just need a place to crash or want to spend some time together, both is fine, we can sure understand how a traveller feels! :)

PHILOSOPHY

I try to be open-minded about everything. I'm easy-going and don't get stressed easily. I try to live my life in an environmentally friendly way, I was living a zero waste lifestyle in Budapest (way harder in Denmark but I try what I can). You can also say we are minimalists, especially since living out of a few bags and in a tent for a few years really teaches you what's really important.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By surfing couches of course, and host when I can

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love it, met so many interesting people and made quite a few new friends!

Interests

Cycling (love trips at weekends), watching tv series (usually sci-fi), doing a lot of sports, or just simply going out and have fun.

I learn singing, and can't stand a day without at least singing 3 or 4 songs :)

Did my first ironman on 29/07/2017

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English, Hungarian of course, and to show how I live my life conciously and in a low impact way. Which of course means frugal too, if you want to learn how to save some money :)
