About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finding the good people. Everywhere.

ABOUT ME

When I was 24 and finished school, after one and a half years of working I have decided to take a year off and take off with the very little money I have, so I was hitchhiking and using couchsurfing on my way. Since I got home, now it is my turn to return the favour, so I hope to meet like-minded people. Now I live in one of the best part of the city, and I am open to share this with other people.

PHILOSOPHY

Trying to live on the edge of being rational, future-oriented and trying to experience as many things as I can. I have my manners, and I am pretty open to most kind of people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meeting people, explaining them more about hungarian culture, history, feelings, sights. Sharing anything about my trips, being interested about other people's lives, trips and goals.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well, I joined in August, 2007, since then, I was CSurfing, so I was able to spend nights in Turkey, Iran and India. I also hosted people from all over the world.

Interests

Having direct relationship with people, asking questions others do not ask, answer questions others do not answer, sports, real estate, inline skating, skiing, reading, going out as much as I can. Living life without the limits our cultures pushes us into.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Mitch Albom: Tuesdays with Morrie, Mitch Albom: 5 people you meet in heaven, Robert Merle: The island

Music: I only refuse house music and rave, otherwise, I digest or enjoy every type.

Movies: last movie I remember worth seeing: Crash, besides that: Before sunset, Before Sunrise, and a lot of indie and euro movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Close to Istanbul, I was sleeping at a Gas station, in a trailer, which was in a garage. First, I had to balance a bit, but it worked out later.
