About Me

Be good, be bad, being myself.

Hola, Ciao, Hi, Xin chao, es mindenek elott szia :)

Long story short, the following list of keywords would describe my personality:

Travel, surprises, last minute plans, nature, explore, smile, sunset, dawn, music, kayak, books, reading, writing (tales), learn, photography, spontaneity, sharing, simplicity, green, blue, world news, work, awareness, integrity, balance, going out - staying home, eat, sleep, dream, reality, embrace, love, smile.

Things that I’m not really fond of:
- Self-centered people
- Superficial people ( (but, hey… Have you already heard anybody saying “yes, yes, I am definitely self-centered/superficial!”)
- Ignorance

Also:
- I'm honest, it's a double edged trait
- I listen to my instinct, still don't know if it's a good or a bad thing

When I'm on holiday I prefer wandering around, discovering hidden streets, small shops instead of taking the common trail (preferably with company). I'd rather climbing a mountain instead of getting drunk in a bar. Jumping from a cliff to the sea instead of waiting in some museum queue for hours.

I'm doing Couchsurfing to have the world coming to my doorstep: so I don't need to pretend doing nothing and well...it keeps me busy.

Although I'll share some information about myself here on this page, to get to know me I strongly advise you to come and meet me in Budapest. I just moved back :) Spending some time in Spain, and now back to the roots.
Let's share a meal, tell some stories and laugh at the mistakes of our life.

You can check some of my photos, how do I see the world from my point of view: http://www.flickr.com/photos/enquen

It's been a while that I am dreaming to get to a far away place where I can see the whole Milky Way on the night sky. If you know a good place, tell me!

Your personality is the key to my apartment. My door is open to all nationalities, genders and ages.

PHILOSOPHY

Better to fight for something than live for nothing.

Always learn, never stop exploring, live with integrity.

Jurassic Park will forever be my favorite movie because it illustrates perfectly how, when you try to control everything, you will get eaten by a fucking dinosaur.
