About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"I want to travel where life travels, following its permanent lead"

ABOUT ME

Hei!

I live a quite ordinary life in my home country, at the moment I live and study in Budapest. I like things that everyone does, being with friends, music, books, and traveling of course: ) Sometimes I seem to be silent and reserved, but actually I'm quite open-minded and I can be truly talkative and social as well.

2 years ago I spent 9 months in Finland as a volunteer, that was the longest period I ever spent abroad, also the craziest 9 months of my life so far: ) Ever since then I love multiculturalism, and I really miss getting to know people from different cultures all the time, therefore...

PHILOSOPHY

Careless realism costs souls.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

...I wish to host people every now and then, or just go out somewhere with new people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I tried CS for the first time in 2012 when I visited London with a friend of mine. We had good experiences, so now that I have a place to share I would like to return something to the community.

Interests

Literature, translation, publishing, economics.

Passionate love for the English and Finnish languages, hence native speakers of those are the most welcome.
