CURRENT MISSION

Personal development experiment

ABOUT ME

I'm a Hungarian-born Australian, I studied a Bachelor of Arts with a major in History and minor in English. I'm taking some time off before going back to study, and living and traveling around Europe for a year and a half.

I think I'm pretty easy to get along with, and I like finding a balance between work, play and relaxation. So whether you want to practise your English, go out for drinks, or just sit on the couch and watch random stuff on Youtube, I'm your girl :P.

I currently live in Levallois-Perret, just outside Paris. I teach English, and au pair for two little girls during the week.

PHILOSOPHY

It tends to change over time. Just the way I do. Also, I think it's too broad a topic to just write down in a few paragraphs, I'd much rather take the time to sit down and discuss it with someone, and hear their views as well :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I was living in Prague I hosted several people for a couple of nights, or just met up for coffee or dinner. I also couchsurfed when I was in Amsterdam and Ghent.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a few times and met some really cool people, who I hope I will have the opportunity to meet again

Interests

Just briefly... long conversations, long walks, coffee, history, languages. Preferably all at the same time :)

• drinking
• traveling

Music, Movies, and Books

The music I listen to has changed so much since I left home, I just let my taste be influenced by the people I spend time with. I think in a way it reflects how I change as a person through travelling and meeting new people, but also being open to all kinds of music and even books and films is a great way to connect with anyone I meet :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For me, the whole experience of leaving my home and traveling around Europe is amazing. The people I've met especially make it so.

Teach, Learn, Share

The most valuable thing that I've learnt, and I keep learning every day, is how little I really know. I teach, it's what I do for a living, but there is so much more that I can learn from the people I meet, especially while travelling. I shouldn't feel bad about sharing what I know, because I acknowledge that there is more that others can offer me than I them. I guess what I'm also saying is that it's important to keep an open mind. Sometimes opinions and ideals are a worthy sacrifice for the sake of learning and growing.
