About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Go with the flow, explore, give love and find 42. (What a cliché)

ABOUT ME

I'm a cat. A pizza-cat.

PHILOSOPHY

It's only after we’ve lost everything that we’re free to do anything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm pretty new to this whole CouchSurfing stuff. Registered here few years ago, but I was too afraid to actually do anything with it. Now it's time to change it.

I'm planning to go on a huge trip in a few weeks from now. So I hope this text will change soon enough. :)

Currently I don't have an apartment or a place that I own and I'm about to go on traveling, so I can't offer a couch right now. But as soon as it'll change, I'd be more than happy to share my home and my pancakes with awesome people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Total newbie. :))

Interests

Cats. I love cats. And goats and otters and bunnies. Cute and fluffy? Want.

Okay, seriously. I've been a huuuge gamer all my life. So anything video game related, I'm interested. If you play LoL, I love you.

As far as interests go, I have a plenty. Last 4-5 years I've read every article, how-to and everything I could get my eyes on. From psychology to marketing and far beyond. So I won't list those things here, I will rather go with the common stuff for now. But chances are that if you're into anything, I know a bit about it and I'm eager to learn more.

I like reading, although haven't read any books lately. Mostly because of my busy schedule at work and spending my free-time playing games. When I was younger I read a lot of fantasy novels. Later on I came to prefer books with a deep meaning. We have some awesome writers here in Hungary. I'm sure you'd like them if you were into this kind of stuff.

Movies of course. I have a huge list called 'Mind-Blowing movies'. Shutter Island and stuff like that. I love them. Also watched a couple of series back in the days, when I had the time.

I'm not that much into eating and cooking, but a good cake or cookie can win my heart instantly. Same goes for a cup of coffee. I also like a lot of foods and as a Hungarian we have a huge tradition of kitchen related stuff. And I love it. I just prefer smaller rations, so to say.

As far as sports and working-out goes, I'm really interested and love it, but it's been years ago that I've done any sports for longer than a week. Maybe I'll be able to pick up something regularly. I've been thinking about Convict Conditioning, yoga or tai-chi and bodyweight stuff.

I know a good chunk about online marketing, website design, WordPress and stuff like that. Well. On paper at least. Planning to improve on it and use it these days. So if you know anything about these stuff, teach me and I'll love you with all my heart and pancakes.

I could write here for days, but I think I already wrote this too long. I hope it'll give a good picture and if you are interested in more or you want to share anything about those topics, I'm all yours. After all this bullshiting here you might not believe me, but I'm an awesome listener. So just hit me up if you feel like it. :D

Music, Movies, and Books

Well. I listed a few of them in the interests section, but here we go.

Music. I love it. I mostly sleep with music on. I've been through almost every genre. Started off with rock and metal. Then I realized that other kinds of music does exist. After that there was no stopping. What I don't like is Hungarian underground, that's the worst shit you've ever heard. Also I'm really not interested in 'popular' music you can hear these days. I listen to some of them, mostly as a remix. But anything like Nicki Minaj? Keep that away from me. Nowadays I like to listen to those 'summer-vibe' mixes, indie music and stuff like Radical Face (listen to that guy, he's awesome).

For the movie part, anything mind-blowing? I love it. Thrillers are the best. Just give me a twist that I didn't expect(hard) and I love that movie. I also like dramas. I'm not that into comedy and horror tho. Too shallow for me, I think.

Books. I loved reading back in the days. I just had no time and motivation for it in the last few years. So there's not much to say here. :/ Will try to catch up soon.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well. The most amazing thing for me right now is that I quited my job.

Planning to upgrade this field soon enough. :D

Teach, Learn, Share

Awesome. I love this part.

So first, what I could teach you. Well. On the practical skills part I have a skin-deep knowledge of a lot of things. Website designing, CorelDraw and online marketing are a few things I know a bit more about. Also I've been working at an engraving company for like a year. But I don't really think that's relevant here. :D
On the other hand. I know quite a lot about human nature and social stuff. So if you need someone to talk with about your relationship, you're problems or anything like that. I'm your man definitely. I'm an active listener and since I've heard so really many stories and talked with so many people about those kind of stuff, I think I have a good understanding of things.
Of course languages. If you are interested in learning Hungarian, I can teach you a few things.

On the learning part. I'm mostly interested in anything internet related, like websites, graphics, programing. Also running a small business or something like that. If you have any experience about stuff like this, I'd be more than happy to learn from you.
And well. I think if there are only (if any) so few things I'd not be interested in. :)
