About Me

Do good, Feel good, make friends on the way.

Im based in Budapest, and Im happy to host you or meet up when I can. I usually travel solo on big trips, thus couchsurfing is one of my ways to connect with people and get to know a place better. Both as a host and a guest I like to spend time with the people I’m with, I had fun and made some lifelong friends this way .

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love showing people around Budapest (or wherever I live), help foreigners discover the secret hot spots of the city and vice versa, I like to experience a place through a local’s eyes, rather than a tour book. I'm also not a big fan of hotels (apart form their breakfast), would much rather stay at a real home with a friendly host, take them out for a drink and get the true local experience and connect.
Couchsurfing is a great opportunity to meet new people on the road or in my City.

Interests

In Every country I visit the library, I love old libraries. Love to see animals preferably in their natural environment. I appreciate good food, live music, and kind ppl to hang out with. I like nature and water and would like to discover different cultures around the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Helping in the delivery room and holding a newborn baby. Living in Tanzania, and volunteering in an orphanage, Bunjee jumping above the Nile in Uganda, level 5 rafting, 6 months of road-tripping through the west coast.
I could carry on with amazing places I’ve been to but honestly the most elevating thing is helping someone in need, may it be small or big, and meeting amazing new people on the road.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I view couchsurfing as a mutual experience. Both hosts and surfers give their experience and view of life. I like interacting with my hosts and I don’t use couchsurfing for “just a place to sleep” and don’t like to be used as one either unless it’s an emergency (I’m happy to help thought). I chose my potential hosts based on sympathy and mutual interests rather than convince.
