About Me

primarily just hosting refugees, ukrainians, and others displaced by the russian invasion at the moment

If you could request only like a week in advance, that'd be cool. I don't like making commitments any further out than that.

If you can skateboard / longboard, please come visit me, we'll have a good time. I have like 5 skateboards and a set of free line skates, so I can share one with you.

In college I used Couchsurfing a ton all over the world and met lots of cool people, now it's my turn to return the favor and host some travelers at my place!

I live alone in an extremely centrally located apartment in Budapest. I'm pretty good at navigating the nightlife around here and really enjoy meeting new people and getting a taste of other people's perspectives on the world. I also like reading every single page on Wikipedia with like a million tabs open. I'm spontaneous, ridiculous, dangerous, eager to take risks, and I've never planned anything in advance.

If you're thinking about coming and staying at my place, know that you'll have the flexibility to either spend lots of time with me, or a bit less if you're interested in doing your own thing. I have an online business and work from home which means I have mountains of free time. I'm very much a nocturnal sort of person who likes to work/play late, but since my apartment does have a separate room, I can totally go do my nocturnal thing in my bedroom while you maintain regular hours like a normal person if that's your thing.

I left America since Europe is a much better place to live statistically speaking.
