I'm a 25 years old hungarian medical student, who's just started her travelling! Until like 2 years ago I haven't really had the opportunity to go abroad, but now I have the chance, so I take it!
I consider myself as a little shy, but a polite and cheerful person, who loves animals, and wants to learn more about everything, listen to other people's stories! Although this isn't much, but I hope you can gather some information-pieces from my profile and they will make you curious enough to get to know me more. :)
Currently I'm in Finland, in Kuopio, so I can't accept guests, but would love to meet people around here!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'll finish university soon, and until then I want to see as much from the world as I can, because after graduation I have to work, so I won't have so much free time. I heard a lot of good, positive experiences on this, so I would like to be a part of this community, and meet nice people, get familiar with other cultures.

Interests

In my free time I love spending time in the nature, going on trips, and I usually go for long walks with my dogs in the nearby forest. Though I can't consider myself as a sporty person, I like archery ( I even have a beautiful, traditional hungarian bow) and I do little bicycle routes, and recently has started going to hike as well. When I don't feel like going outside, I just grab a book and read or I search for new recipes that I can try out, because I love cooking and baking!

Music: symphonic metal (like Nightwish), hungarian folk music, Queen, Parov Stelar, Paddy and the Rats
Movies: all of the Monty Python movies, Pulp fiction, Liza the fox fairy, Amelié, Intouchables, Lord of the Rings, One flew over the cuckoo's nest, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Books: Flower to Algernon, Do androids dream of electric sheep?, The little prince, books from Agatha Christie, Animal farm, mythology, fantasy

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hosting exchange students in summer, arranging programs for them, getting to know them... and this is how I made my first international friends. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Culture - I would like to learn about your culture, dishes, dance etc., in exchange I can teach you some of hungarian language, show you our folk dance, and cook you something delicious! (Or at least I try to. :) )
Tea - I drink a lot of tea, I almost always have some teabags with me, so I can share some of my favorites.
Puns - I love them, even the bad ones, not just listen to, but use them.. (but I always apologize for them!)
Board games - I'm always eager to learn more games, and play them!

And according to that I will be a doctor soon, I can be useful in medical emergencies, so I can save your life if needed (although I hope this won't be a case, haha!) :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hungarian culture (music, dance, language, food), lots of smile, and say thank you at least in 10 languages :)
