I’m 43, recently single and just booked my first solo trip to Europe. Kids are almost adults and busy. No excuses left! Time for an adventure!
Came to the US when I was 10. I speak fluent Hungarian and English. I can get by in Russian and Spanish.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I can’t keep pretending that watching Burt Wolf or reading a novel that takes place in another country is the same as being there.
I really want to meet people who live in the countries I visit. I’m excited to see a country through the eyes of locals. Meet people who have different experiences and perspectives.
If I host, I look forward to sharing my area with my guests. I live on Long Island, close to the beach, a little over an hour from NYC.
