About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finishing my PhD project, hiking around the world

ABOUT ME

I enjoy traveling and have lived in many different places throughout my life. I see every new destination as a great opportunity to explore and meet people with many different interests and hobbies.

Currently, I am a PhD student in International Relations in Budapest, but will be soon moving to Slovakia. I never want to stop learning in life and so plan to stay in academia. I also enjoy teaching, and in fact, I will be a high school teacher over the upcoming year, so I am very much looking forward to this experience. I believe that everyone has something to contribute and that we can all learn something from each other. I can usually be found in the outdoors on the weekends, either hiking, cycling, or running. I love sharing these activities with others and so have organized hiking and traveling clubs at two universities that I have attended.

PHILOSOPHY

Every day is an opportunity to learn something new.
