I am super bad at writing bios, my apologies in advance :) My name is Kata, and I currently live in Berlin, trying to finish my studies in English and Spanish phylology. I consider myself as open-minded, eager to learn and discover new things. When I travel, I prefer to blend in the everyday lives of locals, rather than travel around like a typical tourist. Cultural exchange is very important to me, I like to share and learn about cultural and social characteristics of places, as well as about the experiences and personal perceptions of locals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To be honest, although I am registrated here for a long time, I ´ve never used the chance to try couchsurfing...One reason is that I never dared to. I´ve heard many negative stories of couchsurfers and since I often travel alone, I just could not overcome my fear. However, I really would like to travel more than I did so far...given that I am still studying, my travel budget is very limited most of the time,which often kept me back from traveling at all. Thus, I would be super grateful if couchsurfing enabled me to travel more and collect experiences and friends from all over the world!

Music, Movies, and Books

Honestly, I like all kinds of music, except electro and techno. From the doors, Janis Joplin, Jimmy Hendrix, to Guns and Roses, Aerosmith, to Omara Portuondo, Ibrahim Ferrer, Bomba estereo, calle 13 , Maluma, Los van van, charanga habanera, Havana de primera...and the list goes on endlessly. Lately I am more into chilled hiphop and R´n B like, Loyle Carner, Rejjie Snow, Masego, Mahalia, Barney Artist, Jorja Smith and I have a big crush on Allan Rayman. He is awesome.

I love love love old movies...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled through Cuba in camiones ... which might sound unimpressive at first, but believe me, it isn´t. My back still hurts.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I love to take advance of the languages I speak... I can offer hungarian, german, english and spanish. I am always happy to teach or practice any of those, or learn a new one. I also like to share and learn about the customs,traditions and myths of different cultures, I think they are very fascinating.
