About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to learn about new cultures, and broaden my horizons, while also bringing new perspectives to the lives of others. My CS experiences, particularly those outside Europe heavily contributed to me wanting to work in the field of development and social and humanitarian affairs.

ABOUT ME

I'm a Hungarian lady living in London, UK. I like to meet new people and see their approach to the world. In addition to this, my passions are travelling, languages, foreign cultures and food (I know you don't believe me after seeing my photos, but I am a serious foodie)! :)
I am willing to try everything, and at the same time to educate myself as much as I can. I went to universities in Korea, Spain, Mexico, Italy, and Taiwan. You are always welcome on my future couch wherever it'll be! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My sister told me about CS over 10 years ago, yet she is not a member. So I took the chance to be the lab mouse and I was not disappointed! I love the CS mindset (the original one of sharing life stories and getting to know people, not the one emphasising free accommodation).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed in numerous countries and I participate in local CS events in Leicester, London and Budapest. I met amazing people of many nationalities through CS who I consider as my friends. I even celebrated my bday and nameday with some of them! :)

Interests

I like to hang out with old and new friends, having nice conversations and spending precious time together whatever we do. I love eating and cooking and exploring new fields of life and of course new places.
