Sorry, over the hot season I am quite often away from the city and cannot host guests.
CURRENT MISSION

To understand more of language and mind.

ABOUT ME

Open-minded, a lifetime learner, interested in languages and their speakers, happy to host friends with similar interests.

PHILOSOPHY

"Deeds are the pulse of time. (T.S. Eliot)" , though I sometimes need a push to get off the couch and do something creative.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard of this way of socialising from a teacher friend in Budapest.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been a registered member since 2009. I hosted young people in 2013 and 2014,and have had visitors quite frequently ever since. I was hosted by great CS friends in Iran, Turkey and Poland in 2014. All were memorable and positive encounters.

Music, Movies, and Books

Classical novels, British, French and Italian films, among the most memorable ones : The King's speach; Hammam; Mine vaganti

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling all alone first with a 'circolare' ticket from Piemont to Sicily throughout Italy as a schoolboy.

Teach, Learn, Share

Happy to share knowledge of my field of education, or of my homeland.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer my guests a welcome drink, plenty of coffee and tea daily, in fair weather a short cruise on the river Danube, a night drive throughout the city, showing the stunning view from Gellért Hill. In summer a weekend away in our village house in the rolling land in the South of Hungary is also possible.
