*FOR HOSTS*
I am usually traveling for work or a marathon race or something like that. I am very happy if You can show me around in the city or the nearby forests, but I don't expect You to do that. You don't need to babysit me, I'm content if we can have a nice discussion during a dinner accompanied with the wine I brought from Hungary :-)

*FOR SURFERS*
My life is very hectic with work and other duties. This means several things:
- if You ask for a place months in advance, I'll not be able to say anything for certain.
- if You ask me on the day before, I'll probably not even read the request by the time You arrive
- I'll show You around the city if I can, and drink a good beer in a pub, have long discussion during dinner, but I'll probably not be able to be there for You 24/7. After the dinner, I'll work late in the night, I'll leave for my community run on Mondays no matter what, etc. (But You are welcome to join :-))

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm teaching various courses at the university in IT, but I like it very much, when I have to explain complex things to people from other field. If I recall correctly, Einstein has said, that if You can't explain to the old lady in the shop what Your research topic is, You don't really understand that either.
