About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find community life in Wien

ABOUT ME

I believe in the power of people and community. Together we can create the most amazing things, like music, dance, cakes, soups, home, readings, journeys, projects, ideas, vegetables, honey.

I've been living in Edinburgh for almost a year which opened new doors and gave me new eyes to see the world through.

I was born and grew up in Budapest which is a great city. Sometimes I don't even realize how beautiful it is as the Danube cuts across the whole capital, making two very different, yet complementary parts. Its banks open the door to long and memorable conversations with friends.

I hardly use public transport. I go everywhere by bike. And that's not obviously a good thing. For example sometimes I ride my bike instead of just walking. Which is also a pretty good thing to do. I should walk more!

PHILOSOPHY

Decide spontaneously and find your own rules!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My brother and I travelled in Belgium and we met exceptionally kind and interesting people, mostly via couchsurfing. All of our hosts were helpful and open-minded. And there was a girl who had no couch so we met her for just a beer. It was great, because before it I couldn't imagine that this 'I can't host right now but I can hang out' option would really work. Actually it does!

Interests

I like cycling on the road. I like walking home at night.
I love sleeping outdoor in the winter in a sleeping bag in the snow.
I like singing, cooking together with friends.
Also, I'm pretty much into coffee, it became my hobby to find the best flat white wherever I travel.
