ABOUT ME

I'm happy to have grown up in a small town in S-E Hungary. Then I went to university to Budapest and Debrecen, 2 biggest towns in the country.
I'm a dancer (folk for 20 years, but interested in contact and contemporary), also teach it. I worked as a waitress in an eastern-style teahouse, and in a pizzeria... as a teacher in elementary school, kindergarten and nursery... as a jewel maker in a mineral shop... I started to play the violin. I usually read more books at the same time, but not literally. :)
I lived in Romania for almost one year, dealing with Hungarian minorities and now I do the same in Lyon.

PHILOSOPHY
