About Me

Traveling was really a thing for me, than someting changed, almost forgot how to do it. Hichiked about 20.000 km, now i feel pretty rested.

so, about me in a few words:
fun, joyful, easy going, curious, can talk a lot, and sometimes i see the future as well :)

In more details:
have been born and raised in Budapest, Hungary, left for a few times since that, for a couple of hichikers trip (3 big one, plenty of small one), and for 2 semesters as the beginning of a long journey of my higher education massacare. somehow i spent almoust 10 years in some classes, from basic economic studies, to wine and viticulture, through a basic agricultural profession (to suit the needs of EU subsidy for young farmers), and at the end i became a bachelor of food engineering.
Long road, i can tell you about it!
During these years i have tried myself out in a good handfull of jobs: engraving, scythe, moving other people stuff, gardening in expensive villas, roofing, flat restoration (spelled new 4 flats in 2015), working in a hostel, and THAN i finished university.
Got somewhat brainwashed, started my professional career and started to get boring :)

I have inherited a small-toy wineyard from my grandfather, now i doing the thing shoulder to shoulder (in my free time) with my father, this is my longest job so far, and it will be im sure about that. Since we replanted the vines, i have had no chance: started to brew beer. Made shitloads of brandy in the past years too.

CURRENT MISSION

trying not to forget where i came, how to enjoy life :P

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to attach to people

With all these experiences i learned that you can spread your energy in really different directions, to get deeply into theoretical and/or phisical things/achievments, but the most important is when you stand ap, and look around: who are you sourranded with.
the result could be appealing or dissapointing as well, but couchsurfing gives you the ultimate jolly joker: new, unknow, fresh, outside of the box.
change is always good!
