About Me

CURRENT MISSION

planning the great escape

ABOUT ME

Born on the southern part of Slovakia, coming form a small Hungarian town... After uni I lived in the UK for a year, been saving up for traveling with my boyfriend. then in May 2010 we set out for our 11 months long trip around the world. It was very intense, often challenging, completely amazing and mind-blowing and gained experiences that I did not even expect. After the trip I moved back to Slovakia and slipped into the routine of 40 hour office work a week, which is comfortable enough but pretty boring. After 3 years however i'm starting to get the itch and so in order to save my soul i am planning the great escape.

Enjoying anything that makes me laugh, think, anything constructive or inspiring...

good music (anything can come that is quality all the way through electro swing hiphop latino hungarian jazz acoustic to folk opera piano or violin concerts)

good films (i like the funny, i like the european, i love the animated or the ones with great twists or a good story, i like the ones that sink my heart. only no go is horrors - like we dont have enough fear in our lives?!)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

lived for 2 month on a farm, with 32 horses and no electricity, backpacked through 11 month, 2 continents and 7 countries:
traveling through wintery New Zealand for 1.5 month in a camper, skydiving from 4,5KM height, drinking kava with the local Fijians, swimming in the night sea with fluorescent plankton near Cambodia, sailing through the Whitsunday islands with dolphins and sea turtles, diving through the corals of the Great Barrier Reef...

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you hungarian (you never know when you might need it :D ), or how to bake some bad-ass brownies or share the wisdom on how to grow your garden herbs (no joke :D)
