Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to hear the stories of locals about the background of a place. These stories give life to a place, and I start to connect my hosts faces to the places. For me, a place is always connected to faces. So I am looking for these personal stories and local insights through couchsurfing which I would never find through staying in soulless hotels or chaotic hostels packed with drunken travellers.

Interests

I am a person who is interested in social initiatives that help empower smaller communities to verbalize their dreams and achieve them. I am especially interested in how art can help this process of bottom up way of social building.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach basic Hungarian to you, it is very useful, a world language ;), and you can impress your friends with it. :)
Also I am a pretty good palacsinta-maker (pancake), and I can make damn good rakott kumpli (layered potatoes). I can teach you to both.
