ABOUT ME
i'm spontaneous, really passionate about the biggest and smallest things in life. i love great visual experiences, i'm very sensitive in terms of how i react on music, colors or shine:) i'm easy going, curious and usually calm:)
i'm kind of a design, fashion and innovation fan and desire to know as much culture as possible.
i'm working in communications as a PR consultant in hungary. i have chance to work with an extremly interesting and inspiring company together as my client...or at least it is very attractive to me:P anyway, i'm deeply involved in online innovations, in internet related stuffs and in kind of our digital future. (ok, i haven't lost the connection to the real world, don't worry:) it just makes me amazed to experience and see the digital one too.)
i'm looking for opportunities where i have chance to create, to work on a big mission and can be improved and challenged pretty much. also i'm enthusiastic about educating and making our world a better place.
PHILOSOPHY
perfect moments & make some noise
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
i can not really offer my couch because due to my work i have almost no time at all to be a good host but take a chance and ping me if you want.
what i can offer: i know Budapest pretty well and i always keep an eye on what's happening in the city so i can recommend you a lot of places to go out, to eat somewhere, to see not only the tourist destinations etc ...or we can do it together just need to find out the right timing. :) (till then u can check some lists of my favourite spots on foursquare: https://foursquare.com/user/9947891)
one more thing: i've put together a short, very subjective guide to help CSers in Budapest being well prepared for the city and for the Hungarians: http://goo.gl/ipR2I :) feel free to add comments, your experiences and so on. i would very much appreciate if this collection of information could be broadened with the feedbacks of you, travellers here in Hungary. it is my small 'experiment', my 'pet-project' here, so go ahead and let me and everybody know your experience, I'm very-very curious about how well it can work:)
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
i have spent 4 perfect days in Milan and 2 amazing days in Girona thx to my great hosts. so it is not too much in terms of the amount of experience but it was really amazing and made me falling in love with the CS concept itself..:) so looking fwd having much more CS experience in the future... :)

Music, Movies, and Books
can't live without music:) sometimes (ok, quite often) i spend hours with hunting for the one single piece which perfectly fits to my mood. and it can be from minimal techno through rock or 'altervative' hungarian bands till opera music almost anything. if u are interested, i can bring u music from hungarian bands or whathever i listen to:)
books and movies..ok, i'll be honest. i need to better organize my time to be able to read more. when i find a great book, it has soo big effect on my life, but i still haven't found out how to save enough time for reading more books. my last favourite is EmpireV from Pelevin. no, i'm not a vampire-fan at all. :) but this book....it is so deep, so interesting, so philosophic, and shows me the russian way of thinking which is really attractive and interesting to me.
about movies: usually i prefer the dramas...you know, the not funny but rather deep and shocking ones:P my latest favourite is black swan. not because of the actresses or the dancing scenes, but because of the very-very well and carefully planned way of introducing the psychological dimension of the life of that girl. it is really amazing to me.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
well...in terms of nature: i had chance to see Stromboli erupting. it was amazing. i've never seen such powerful and incredible thing before.
in terms of people: all the small and big changes in people's life, especially when it comes to my beloved ones:) but also, i have a more concrete story: i had chance to work as trainer of students some years ago. we had a group of 'usual' kids and some who were not easy going at all, had some troubles with connecting to other people and were the target group of prejudices...which was really very sad. but thanks to 2 days of trainings (and really hard time for trainers to reorganize every methods:), everything changed, all the students changed their mind about their prejudices, and the other, not easy going ones started to be able to behave as a part of the group and were asked by the others to be the main actors of the play they had to prepare for the community. it was amazing. really. we, the trainers almost cried:)
Teach, Learn, Share
well..i'm always opened to share opinions about the 'big global questions of life', also as i'm working in the media as a PR person, i can tell you a lot about the social / economical situation in Hungary. i'm pretty much interested in what's happening around us. plus i'm an almost-geek, maybe hipster and always try to be on the top of the innovations, so i'm opened to speak about where the Internet, the start up companies and our new, 21th century life goes;)
but..i guess you may want to have fun instead or beside of this;) so i can tell you stories about the brighter side of living here, i can give you some subjective insights to understand the Hungarians and if i have time, i'm ready to cook sg and have some drinks together to show the almost eastern-almost western feeling of our country.
if it comes to learning, i think i learn sg from each and every ppl in the world. tell me stories and you may change my life forever:)
