CURRENT MISSION

To see the world and to write about it

ABOUT ME

I'm a 33-year-old writer and traveler currently living in Hungary. Visit me at http://davidrozgonyi.blogspot.com

And me (Elizabeth)... just 25, but I've got a blog of blatherings, too - http://erzsebetgilbert.blogspot.com

PHILOSOPHY

In good, in bad, in between--we are all the same, closer even than brothers and sisters. So, no matter where we go, we are always with family. What a wonderful thing!

And everything, everything in this universe is extraordinary.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm not sure yet! I travel too much to be of much use as a host, but I'd be happy to help out fellow travelers when I can.

We aren't active members (yet), but we're really quite amiable people!
