About Me

I'm a Hungarian living in Slovakia, currently a university student. I changed my major from IT to tourism because I totally fell in love with traveling. I was two times on a Work and Travel in the USA and maybe this experience awoke my passion for exploring new places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The more I traveled the more I realised that it's so much better to have someone with me who enjoys exploring new places. I'm that type of a person who would like to see more of a place then just the main sight are - like all these must-see places. I'd love to know the best restaurant, the best spot to have a wonderful view of a night sky or the coziest cafe the city or town has - and I think I can experience all these just if a local helps me and shows me them. I also like to meet new people and get to know a bit more about their culture and habits, because I could read a million books about the given religion/nation, but it just wouldn't be the same as being a part of it (even just for a little time).

Interests

I'm a huge pet lover, I have two dogs at home but I would keep a lot more animals if I had the possibility. I'm also trying to have a healthy and active lifestyle, I regularly go running (or just jogging? :D ) and I really enjoy hiking, but unfortunately I can't do it really often. I also go a few times a week to the gym - i really fell for crossfit. I'm also a huge fan of Spartan Race, I already attended more than 20 races and I'm still planning to go to more of them.
Besides all these things, I believe my biggest interest is traveling: I love looking for cheap flight tickets and planning different vacations. I try to go every year at least to 3 different, totally new and unknown places to me. I think traveling made me realise how wonderful our planet is and how many beautiful and breathtaking places are there to visit.

Music, Movies, and Books

My all time favorite movie is Shutter Island - I don't know if it's because of Leonardo DiCaprio or the movie itself, but I could watch it all day all night. I also love watching series (what else would I do instead of studying for my finals?!). My favorites are Friends, HIMYM and BBT.
My favorite books used to be the Harry Potter novels, but now I unfortunately don't have a lot of time to read. You can mainly see me with a language book in my hand.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've adopted a dog! I know, a lot of people do that and it's nothing special, but I'm really proud of it as it took me ages to convince my parents to let me have a dog from a shelter and finally, it happened! The best decision of my (and their) life :)
And I'm pretty proud of myself that I stopped being scared and afraid and finally I started to chase my dreams and living my life to the fullest.

What I Can Share with Hosts

As I already mentioned before, I'm a Hungarian living in Slovakia, so I can introduce the Slovak and Hungarian culture, too. I can teach you how to prepare some traditional dishes, I can teach you some basic words and expressions in both languages. I can go with you for morning runs, have deep talks or long walks while enjoying the beauties of your city.
