About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get my gear ready for the next trip!

ABOUT ME

I'm Christian. I'm cycling everyday. I drink beer, wine and spirits, I'm not smoking. I'm studying geography. I do geocaching - a kind of sport, a kind of treasure hunting game, a good outdoor activity in which you use multi-million dollar satellites to find hidden boxes in the woods. It is the best way to get to places you've never been before and never dreamed of being to.
I love rain, snow and fog, I especially love snowballs! I do read books but I'm the slowest reader ever. I like every kind of music except pop - my favourites are drum'n'bass, goa and industrial. I used to work in the restaurant of an IKEA store for 3 years. I love planning trips and travelling.
I speak Hungarian, English y un poco de español.
My hobbies are geocaching, football, hiking, cycling, running, travelling, hitchhiking, interrailing, music, languages, photography. I've prepared falafel and pita for the first time and it was just like the one I ate in Al-Quds/Jerusalem. I like random meetings and stuff just for the sake of fun.

PHILOSOPHY

Get out of the city whenever there is a chance to do so, on foot, by bike, by train, by plane, it doesn't matter. Go, discover pastures farther afield!

"I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals."
Winston Churchill

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Prepared falafel and tortilla.
Climbed Ben Nevis.
Crossed tonnes of barbed wire wearing flip-flops.

Teach, Learn, Share

I wanna learn languages but that's pretty hopeless.

People say I have a Canadian acccent but I've never been to Canada. Some say I must be Irish because of the way I speak. Whatever.

Pálinka is a Hungarian spirit. It has alc. 40-60% (officially). If you come over you can try it, still got some...
