About Me

I'm David, an honest and smiley guy :)
I'm also a software architect, traveler, school director and an eternal student.
Self-development is the no. 1 thing that makes me happy. I love learning and trying new stuff and meeting new people. I believe there is something to learn from from everybody – one just has to listen.

Philosophy: Love and respect all things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I did my bit of hosting in the past (mostly outside CouchSurfing) and surfed some too on my two years hitch-hiking trip from Hungary to Australia.

At the moment we're doing a 6 month long US road trip with my girlfriend. We live in a car so it's nice to go out and meet people :)

Interests

I'm interested in pretty much anything. Examples: machine learning, human learning, programming, singing, internet security, wood works, web design, survival skills, 3d modeling, meditation. Also many kinds of sports, yoga and playing musical instruments.

A few things I am _not_ interested in are fashion, TV shows, celebrities and politics.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I'm not that picky really. But I have a strange affection to Lindsey Sterling's music and all kinds of covers. :)

Some of my favorite movies A-Z: Adams Aebler, Broken Flowers, Clerks., Eat Pray Love, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Fight Club, Gandhi, Good Will Hunting, Into the Wild, It's a Wonderful Life, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Mary and Max, Microcosmos, Natural Born Killers, Philadelphia, Pulp Fiction.

Book: The Little Prince :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Here's five:
- At 17 I did a 1 month Interrail trip around Europe with 144 Euros in my pocket.
- Hitch-hiked from Hungary to India with a huge "INDIA" sign. :)
- Decided to become a Divemaster and did it – I hadn't dived before. :)
- Hitch-hiked 3000 kms in the Australian outback (from Darwin to Cairns) with an "ANYWHERE" sign. (Check out the place on Google Maps! It's nothing there :)
- Gathered 40 people on one of the main squares on Budapest and showed out butts which got printed in 200.000+ copies the next day :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm happy to share travel stories and hacks, my thoughts on efficient learning methods (I researched this topic lately) and my recent experiences in the startup world. :)
