ABOUT ME

I am currently in New York City as a visiting student for 8 months with my husband and our 3-year-old son. We like to go out and explore different parts of the city. When I am at home I sing in a choir. In the summer I like to go kayaking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have had good experiences with couchsurfers when I was traveling and also when I hosted or met them in Budapest. I mostly used couchsurfing when I was an undergrad student and before having a child. Now, I plan to couchsurf again with my family while we are in the US.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had several guests in our house in Nagykovacsi, Hungary, but it was quite long ago. I also met couchsurfers on my travels, e.g. in Paris, Amsterdam

Interests

I'm singing in a choir with some of my friends, which I really love. We're singing different type of songs from several nations' composers and several ages. In our repertoir you would find Russian masses, spirituals, pop songs, folk songs, contemporary Finish pieces...

Other things I like to do:
hiking in the forest.
kayaking in the summer - mostly on Danube river
