About Me

CURRENT MISSION

get started in my new life

ABOUT ME

I have a positive outlook on life in general, I'm reliable, like to keep things in order and I'm very helpful, forward and open. I like to be among people, but I'm never the life of the party.

My greatest dream for the future is to become a recording/performing artist.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

The years I’ve spent abroad have pretty much changed my life and it made me realize I would never be able to stop visiting other countries and getting to know different cultures. Travelling simply makes the world suddenly smaller and easier to embrace, especially if you are not just a tourist but want to get involved in the life of other communities (culturally and otherwise). That's why I decided to be a member so that I can get some help from others during my travels and help them if they want to visit Hungary.

Interests

I think it is very important to try and find what makes one's everyday life extraordinary and my hobbies are all connected to this - my greatest love is (alternative and classical) music, it's like batteries for me¦ I simply couldn't exist without it. I started composing my first songs not too long ago, and I try to practice on my guitar, uke and piano every day since. I'm interested in theatre, too - I used to act and direct in an amateur group at school. And I love reading. (My favourites are contemporary British and American novels and philosophical writings.) I could do it as a full-time job, if anyone paid for it. :)
