ABOUT ME

Now a family of 4. Ervin and I met in Sri Lanka, while both working for humanitarian organisations, since then we lived in Liberia, France, Tajikistan, Lebanon, Romania , Burundi, Jordan and we are now living in Romania where Ervin is from. We have two wonderful children, Adele and Daniel, they both love couch surfing and enjoy having visitors in the house. We always enjoy hosting people, share meals, have great conversation, making us feel on holiday without travelling. We both love to have impromptu guests, share a meal, share experiences... We have not hosted anyone since COVID-19 hit and the first lockdowns in March 2020, just starting again now after 2 moves...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Offering a couch in our house in Lazarea, we have a sofa bed in our living room and would be happy to offer to guests. We live in Lazerea, in Transylvania, 3km away from Gheorgheni in a small village house by the main road of the village.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Travelled for 6 months in 2007-2008 and had only great experiences in Quebec, San Jose and Buenos Aires! Thanks to my hosts and other couchsurfing friends I learnt a lot about their countries traditions, specialties, culture, history and even politics!
Difficult to give as much as I receive with such good encounters, but trying
As a family we have hosted really great persons, including long-haul travellers in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, Monrovia in Liberia, Beirut in Lebanon, Amman in Jordan and in Romania and hoping to have new positive experiences again.

Interests

We love photography and love to exchange experiences and tricks about the subject, though we now have a less time for that since our children are keeping us busy.
Travel is also a big hobby in books, in reality, in meeting other nationalities!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading and my favorites are Alamut (Vladimir Bartol), the shadow of the wind (Carlos Zafon), the best one ever is Shantaram (Gregory David Roberts).
Always been a music listener as a member of a musician family (sadly being the only who can't play): rock, jazz, gipsy, French and World music!
Not much time for movies anymore, so instead we watched TV series episodes, we love "Treme" about New Orleans (lots of music and great characters), "Kaboul Kitchen" (Satire about humanitarian workers), "The Wire" and some very good danish series like "the Killing" and "Borgen".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Had a Congolese Leutenant (not sure if the title was invented or not) in a tiny village in Congo draw me an organogramm of the army in Maniema province.

I had the chance to go to Afghanistan, only a small part of it, but i want to go back!!! Amazing country, amazing people.
