CURRENT MISSION

To learn to cope with conflicts in a calm and effective way. :) Also taking step towards lowering our ecological footprint, day by day... :)

ABOUT ME

Our whole names are: Lázár Viktória and Spohn Réka.
We both work as microbiologists in this research group: http://group.szbk.u-szeged.hu/sysbiol/vlazar.html
We are two quite different personality, still having some major commonalities making us spending every day together... :) Like hiking, especially cycling, scuba diving and in general discovering new places underwater and overland. Still thinking about exploring the sky, but I (Réka) have a bit too much acrophobia... :S

PHILOSOPHY

Now I'm (Réka) starting to get one, which goes something like that: a happy life is a life lived slowly and imperfectly... :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Our home is an open place for all of our friends... They can come and eat and/or sleep here whenever they'd like to, provided we are at home... :) It gives us such beautiful memories and so much happiness, so we decided to open our home towards people all around the world. :) We have met some amazing people so far! :)

Also in 2012 we couchsurfed from Boston to Washington DC which was an unbelievable experience and a unique way to get to know people, places, cultures... :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cycling through the big plain of Hungary.

Couchsurfing from Boston to Washington DC. :)

Bicycling through Slovenia... Spending a whole week with all your things on your bike, biking more than 400 km-s, through mountains and next to rivers and finally reaching the sea... felt like endless freedom! :)

Hiking up and down Vaganski vrh (1757m) in a day, literally from sea level (our tent was on the sea shore :) ). -> Paklenica National Park, Croatia.

Repeating it with Ben Nevis (1344m) of Scotland, shaking things up with starting the hike at noon... :P
