About Me

CURRENT MISSION

being green and saving the world

ABOUT ME

I travelled a lot in my life. I spent a month in Vienna on a language course when I was 18. Then I was Erasmus in Krakow and EVS in Gdanks. That's how I learned Polish. On EVS I got more serious about environmental problems and after graduating I decided to find a job at an NGO where I can work for making the word for a better place to live. Now we do several interesting and crazy programs for sustainable city life. I am lucky because my work is my passion. Check out: www.messzelato.hu
I was on a fellowship (Community Solutions Program) in Milwaukee, WI, USA, where I worked for a nonprofit too till December 2014.

PHILOSOPHY

If many small people at many places do many small good things, the world will change!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

During our EVS in Gdansk, our flat operated as a "hostel". We had couchsurfers almost every week. (My flatmate was the one who was registered on this site that time.) We enjoyed it a lot. Now it is time that I travel! :)

Interests

Green issues, creative recycling practices, balcony gardening, geocaching, zumba.
I am interested in food, local traditions and folk art, plants and farming.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last time I was in Cyprus in some nature park. We were at the seacost picking juniper with great people also crazy about plants and having some real deep conversation. Great moment.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach about my interests. I know for example more and more creative recycling tips, like how to make a lipbalm container from PET bottle tops. :)
