About Me

CURRENT MISSION

see as much from the world as I can and meet new people

ABOUT ME

I was born in Szolnok in Hungary in 1985. I grew up here in a middle class family. My parents always turned a lot of attention on my education.

I went to university in Budapest, where I have studied informatics. I spent my last semester in Oslo. This was the place where everything started...:) If I had stayed at home and skipped Erasmus experience, I wouldn't have been the person who I am now; leaving my country, friends and family for a short while opened my eyes...

After finishing uni in Budapest I have started to work at an international company. I have started my adult life; I ended up standing in the queue where everybody is supposed to stand.

Was that all...? - I asked myself; ...from this point I will do this job for all of my life, without experiencing anything else what's going on in other places of this planet?

I said no.. how do I know where I can be happy without knowing how other places look like and other people are?!

So I quitted my job and I came to Denmark to have 2 more years of uni and to experience more of the Scandinavian culture what I liked so much in Oslo. I didn't regret it; it was the best decision of my life...

PHILOSOPHY

Being happy for me is the question of what kind of people you are surrended by. One of the biggest recognitions in my life was when I realized that do things together with friends and share things within eachother without any concern is the greatest thing ever that can enrich one's life.

An other thing for me is music! :)

People can make my day simply by smiling at me. If you live in an environment where people smile at you on the street without knowing you and you can experience this every day you are lucky. I think not every people have this privilage. Many people have to live their life in rush where they have to worried too much about work, money, career, personal problems and they forget about others, collaboration and social networks.

People of my generation and the younger generations of course have the opportunity the change this and build a sociaty where the group is more important than the self.

Let's make this!
