About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to have fun in Zurich for the next two years while I'm here

ABOUT ME

I have spent most of my life in Budapest, Hungary. I have moved to Zurich in September 2010, and I am staying here until August 2012 as a post-doc researcher at ETH.

I have visited two other continents already! math conferences are my other couch surfing:-)

PHILOSOPHY

do the right thing

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Main reason: to find other people to go sightseeing or to cultural events in Zurich, or on hikes in Switzerland.

I also have a tiny flat to share as a host.

And maybe if I go on a vacation sometimes, I will couchsurf myself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted some surfers, I went to the local CS meetings a few times, and participated in a hike organized by couchsurfers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I was sitting on the Spanish steps in Rome with a few hundred other people and a freshly married couple in wedding dress came along to take photographs by the fountain. It was in the air that people will start to cheer for them, but I was the one who started the tsunami of clapping:-)

Teach, Learn, Share

I am happy to learn a bit of German
