About Me

I'm an enthusiastic person, open to others and curious about everything around the world! I like challenges and I'd like to meet and get to know other cultures and share mine as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think traveling is all about discovering, being curious about the unknown, taking in all the new information and experience. Seeing how people live in another country, talking to them, asking them questions, enjoying their company, listening to them as they share their own experiences - this is why I love this platform. Couchsurfing changes traveling more real and makes you feel like traveling even when you are hosting.

Interests

The diversity of the world amazes me. I like nature, skiing, mountain hikes just as much as beach walks or sailing. I like how listening to music affects my mood and how a lot of songs become a source of all kinds of memories and feelings. That's why I like listening to music - any kind. I like talking about the world, cultures, sciences, possible futures, parallel universes.

Music, Movies, and Books

No ultimate favourite music, it all depends on my mood. Sometimes I feel like rock so listen to Linkin Park, Muse, or Hungarian rock bands. Other times I want softer music so put on some blues by Hugh Laurie, or classical music.
Two TV series I would watch again any time are Chuck and Fringe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volunteering for 2 months in Brazil at an NGO.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a lot about one of the world's most difficult languages - Hungarian. I can also share about our culture. Any if you have chemistry related questions, I might have an answer.
I will definitely want to catch a few words of your country's language and your ideas about the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will definitely share my enthusiasm. If requested, I can also cook Gulash soup or sing a Hungarian folk song. Or both.

Belgium, Brazil, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Romania, Slovakia, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom
