About Me

I am a nice 31 year-old Hungarian guy, living in one of the most beautiful and tranquil cities of my country. I'm a PhD-student in the Doctoral School of Literary Studies at the University of Szeged. My research interest lies in the modernist and post-war English literature as well as the influence of the Holocaust on the English culture.

In my free time, I like travelling and visiting cultural sites a lot. My passion is reading and improving my language skills.

Interests

My passion is reading and sharing my own thoughts about some of the greatest moral issues of our time. I am also practicing meditation on life, relationships and on myself. I like finding the reason and the logic behind every action that binds us human beings together. I love theatre and cosy pubs, reading poetry out loud and visiting all the hidden sides of the place that I'm visiting. I love history and finding out the history of a given places, therefore it was just a heaven tracking down all the Renaissance heritages on some of the buildings and street corners in Venice as well as visiting a number of chapels, monuments and cathedrals in Italy, Germany and the United Kingdom. I also like long walking tours in parks, forests and hillsides.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourite music:

I love any musical pieces. However, my preferences are classical music, chansons and ballads. I love Wagner, Brahms and Mozart in particular.

Favourite Movies:

That is still a hard one. I am a movie maniac and that means that I love all movies that touch me. My preferences are oldies and art house movies but I am open.
