ABOUT ME

My mother is Hungarian and my father is a mixed Native American and I grew up in The States. I just finished my Peace Corps Service in Morocco. I am currently traveling around Europe and will spend the next few month traveling between Europe and my home in The U.S. before heading to Graduate school in the Middle East. I love traveling the world and meeting new people, so if I am settled in any place, I am happy to host you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting/ Surfing.

I spent 27 months living and hosting in a tiny village in the Anti Atlas Mountains while I was working as a Peace Corps Volunteer. For the moment, I can host you in Seattle. I live on Broadway in Seattle's Capitol Hill Neighborhood. Its just west of Downtown. Its a great place to get an eclectic mix of foods and/ or coffee. You can shop at amazing thrift stores and watch indie movies at The Egyptian Theatre and the Landmark Harvard Exit Theatre. There are lots of bars and an amazing night life. Its a great place to visit for all types of people, but young artist-types, the LGBTQA community (and a sprinkling of yuppies) make up most of the neighborhood. Also, I live across the street from a central metro line, so no need rent a car.

This will tell you pretty much all you need to know about Seattle:

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got pulled off of my train and arrested between the boarder of Hungary and Romania. I had to hang out in a really scary Hungarian jail cell for 6 hours until I made friends with the arresting officer, paid him 60 Euros and was on my way. Still not sure why I was arrested.
