Hey, I am Julia a very curious 18 years old girl from middle Europe from Hungary. (And yes Hungary is in Middle Europe). I consider myself very mature and totally independent, but maybe these things are just on my wish list yet. Although I hope I am on the right way there.
Last year I got a scholarship to a United World College (it is an international organization with the aim to unite people from all around the world through education), so last August I got on a plane by myself and traveled to Phuket with big dreams and teardrops on the corner of my eyes. Now I live in a boarding school with classmates from 36 different nationalities. I feel so lucky and grateful that I get to explore different cultures every day, just by having conversations over the canteen's unforgettable food.
While I think about these experience I realize how I became open-minded and tolerant and also how I learned a lot about myself too.
Besides these things, I am friendly, very talkative, a hardcore Harry Potter fan. At the same time, I am a curious world citizen and a passionate Hungarian.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am curious about the world but most importantly about the people who are out there. I believe that Couchsurfing is a great way to meet these people, to create connections, and through this to understand something deeper. I think, travelling means opening your mind and heart for something new and meeting new people, learning from them, and seeing a place through their lenses, and this is what I would love to do.

As for movies, my favourites are the Boat that Rocked, Dead Poet Society, Casablanca.
About books, I am fond of Harry Potter, One flew over the Cuckoos nest and the Shogun.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have tried real Thai food and I am still alive. If you need an explanation for this you have never tried real Thai food. I can still feel the burn on my lips, tongue, throat, basically everywhere in my mouth.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Hungarian folk songs, and dances, as well as I, can share my tips and tricks on how to make the best pancakes ever. I can also share stories from living in a multicultural boarding school.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my stories and my enthusiasm with my hosts. I love to talk and I value good conversations very much. I can also offer Hungarian short courses (one of the most difficult languages, so brace yourself) and some treats from home.
