I'm from Budapest but I lived a year in Sao Paolo, Brazil and I'm currently living in Edinburgh, Scotland. I'm working at the moment as a cultural project manager on international, sustainability-related art projects. I graduated with a joint degree in Theatre and Politics from the University of Glasgow, but I also studied some French, Philosophy and Sociology on the way.

I love all sorts of art, hiking, and walking in the city even if I don't know exactly where I am because I usually find the best places like that. I love the scent of lemon so I never wash my hands after cutting a lemon to make a lemonade or tea.

I'm easy-going, but reliable. I love spending time with people, going out, have parties but I also love spending some time alone reading, watching films or just wandering in the streets or in a forest. In fact, I've found that spending time in nature is what charges me up the most lately and I am trying to consciously dedicate time when I'm not really doing anything but just "airing my mind out".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I was in high school I kept listening to the insane stories of my friends who've been traveling with couch surfing and at 16 I thought it's time I don't just listen to those stories but become woven into them, so I went to the highway, put my thumb up and hitchhiked to Vienna as my first trip. I took me 3 lifts and a whole day to get there because I was so unexperienced I kept waiting at the wrong places but in the end, I arrived to Vienna in a limousine!!! And yes, via hitchhiking. And so I never stopped.

Since then, I accidentally bumped into massive theatre festivals via hitchhiking, got picked up by people who cycled around Europe for 20 years, and the story goes on.

Interests

I'm interested about psychology, philosophy, but mostly about ART. Every kind of art. I am a member of a theatre group, I danced hip-hop and jazz, I played cimbalom, the drums and a really little bit of the guitar. I love going to concerts as I love live music.
I like painting even if I'm not talented but it's the same with playing football or volleyball.
I like sports, like running, hiking, cycling, canoe trips, etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love jazz, afropunk, bossanova, MPB (música popular brasileira), reggae, garage rock, indie, psychedelic, D&B, folk, rock n' roll and alternative music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been to Amazonia and the sky there at night is just the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life. I met sloths, anacondas, alligators, huge spiders, and pink dolphins. I spent one night sleeping in the forest and 10 days on a ship, sleeping in a hammock... never felt so in sync with nature, just not looking at my phone for the duration of my stay, rising with the sun and going to bed with the moon.
