CURRENT MISSION

To explore the world, to find myself, to meet kind and interesting people and share stories and experiences with them, see beautiful sights, do all the things I want to do before I die.

ABOUT ME

After I graduated university, I set out on my travelling adventures and, ever since haven't been able to stop. I love exploring the world through travelling and living abroad in other countries, as well as by meeting with people from all nationalities and backgrounds. I lived in Budapest, Hungary, for 1.5 years, during which I taught English to adults at a private language school. And now I'm currently living in Moscow, Russia, teaching English for an international company called International House.

PHILOSOPHY

The most important values for me are honesty, kindness, and love. I haven't figured out why I'm here or what's the purpose of my life, but I feel like part of it has to do with experiencing things in an active way. I think that we were given a form and a body and our senses and legs and arms to be able to experience our feelings and our life in an active way. We are given a chance to help each other in many different ways, to actively seek out beautiful sights in the world and admire them, to create beautiful works of art ourselves and see the beautiful works of art of others, to sing, to dance, to breathe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been meeting with other couchsurfer members in Moscow for the last 6 months, for lunches, movies, sightseeing, and sometimes even dancing! I really enjoy the company of an international community, and hope to participate even more in the future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm a fairly new couchsurfer member, and I haven't hosted anyone yet, as I'm currently living in an apartment that doesn't have a spare couch or bed or even room for another person. And I haven't surfed anyone's couch either, because I haven't travelled outside of Moscow for a while now. However, I look forward to doing both of those sometime soon in the future.

Interests

Nature, hiking, the ocean and mountains, reading, adventures, psychology, languages, stories, literature and poetry, science, astronomy, star-gazing, dancing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have achieved my dream of living abroad and experiencing a different culture and place. I have achieved this goal twice already, and will continue to do so in the future.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you English (no matter what level you are!), Russian, and a little bit of Hungarian. I can share some amusing stories from my travels. And I would like to learn how to dance the Latin grove, learn more about flying or sailing, or just hear a good story or two.
