About Me

I study product design at Moholy-Nagy University of Arts and Design, Budapest. In my freetime I make music with my brother, who is living in Paris, so that means I travel there basically every month.
I used to be very active in meeting new people and travelling and now, after a couple years hiatus I am rediscovering it again, and I have to say I still enjoy it quite a lot ;)

I used to live in a huge house where I hosted many people... once I had a class of 11 people from france plus 2 english guys staying at my place at the same time... yeah... it was really big. But now i live in a small appartement that I share with my father and sister so unfurtunately I am not able to host at the moment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So that anywhere I go I can feel at home. Wherever I go I want to really be there, see it through a familiar eye not as a stranger.

Interests

design, music, running, swimming, movies, climbing
It's an occupational hazard that I am interested in basically everything. Design is there in every bit of your life, and I'm in a lucky position to be able to work with whatever I find intersting in the moment. At the moment I'm especially interested in music, writng and singing...
I live on a mountain just at the edge of the forest where I go out as often as a I can, and enjoy the view at city from the top... different perspective.

Music, Movies, and Books

Well, so many movies that it's impossible to tell but one I recently saw and had a great time watching was Wild Tales. I love documentaries about everythining, one favourite is Man on the Wire ( about the guy who walked across the two towers of WTC on a tightrope) and reading non-fiction. I am currently reading Breakfast of Champions and also five other books... I'm not the patient type to sit read for a whole afternoon.
I come from a musician family, so music is all around me. My father and sister are teaching and studying classical music, while my brother and me, we make... i'm not good at musical genres so let's just call it nextleveldreampop :D anyway I'm the singer and songwriter type and he's the crazy composer-dj-producer making amazing beats. so we're quite a good match..
