CURRENT MISSION

Trying to leave a positive effect on the world and the people in it.

“The world will not fall apart if we let ourselves express our vastness. It is more likely the world will stop falling apart when we do.” –Nelson Mandela.

ABOUT ME

I am life-long learner, bookworm, feminist, coffee drinker, latin reader, lover of mountains, and wanderlust filled traveler.

I have just ended a one-year volunteer position at an art school in Eastern Hungary, where I made art with children, practiced Hungarian, and ate a lot of goulash and cabbage. I also was able to learn a bit about traditional Hungarian needlework, archery, and Hungarian cooking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people and if I can on the same occasion help them finding accommodation by offering them my couch, all the better!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was visiting Dharamsala during my India trip, I went paragliding in the Himalayan Mountains. It was an incredible experience. Also, one of the most terrifying.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think if we had a conversation we would both end up learning and teaching something anyway. But maybe I could teach you how to knit? Or maybe some Hungarian or Latin? I know the cups song from the movie Pitch Perfect. Do you want to learn that? I also know a cool way to tie shoes.

Either way, I live to learn, so teach me everything you know.
