About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to graduate. after that? my dream is to open a café, Vienna style.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Budapest and know the city by heart. That city taught me tolerance and patience, but also taught me how to enjoy life, have fun and make friends easily.

I spent the 2011 fall semester in Durham, NH, USA as an exchange student and studied at the University of New Hampshire. It was a wicked awesome experience, the best semester of my life. I met wonderful people and traveled a lot in New England.

The Computer Science stuff hasn't worked out for me, I like to call myself a "Liberal Arts Engineer", I'm interested in almost everything.

So now I'm experimenting and trying to figure out my next step, founding myself.

PHILOSOPHY

Getting lost will help you find yourself. Life is about the people you meet and the things you create with them.

Ideas borrowed from the Holstee manifesto: http://shop.holstee.com/pages/about

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in the Budapest suburbs now and unfortunately can't host couchsurfers.

But I'd love to show around the beautiful city, the major sights or the best places which are only known by locals. And I love to meet people, have a coffee with them, learn what they think about the world.

So if you wanna hang out, need help getting along in Budapest shoot me a message!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing I've seen: definitely Barcelona is my favorite.
Amazing I've done: organizing many freshmen camps and events at university over the years, and being immature, childish and having fun with my friends for two weeks. It's refreshing after being an "adult" in the whole year. :)
