Overview
About Me
My stomach leads me in life.
Chaotic good. :)
Curious about the world, strong-willed, clumsy.
I love meeting people and hearing their stories.
If we meet I will probably arrive late, I am sorry beforehand! No sense of time in my brain.
PHILOSOPHY
Make a home outside of home.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To catch a glimpse of the worlds of other people and to be able to "travel" vicariously even when being at home
Interests
Exploring the world and its people!
I am interested in languages, literature, international development, and trying to broaden the eurocentric/western approach.
Also into sushi, mexican and peruvian cuisine, breakfast foods, all kinds of sports where I get to chase a ball, boardgames, karaoke, dancehall/reggueton, budget traveling, culinary experimentation, Cuban revolution, making stuff out of clay, painting, floating in water, cardgames, philosophising without objective
Just share your food with me and I will love you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I once saw a dog riding a horse. I have proof!
Also, volunteering at Aldea Yanapay! http://yanapay.facipub.com/ truly amazing in every aspect: the children, the place, fellow volunteers and the experience shared.. taking a bit away and leaving something behind.
Teach, Learn, Share
I know nothing about many things, so teach me anything you know! I have infinite enthusiasm so I can share that :) and teach you Hungarian, if you want to learn a very useless, complicated language
What I Can Share with Hosts
I always share food, cigarettes, and my sarcastic humor
Countries I’ve Lived In
Cuba, Guatemala, Hungary, Peru, Spain, United States
