One of the greatest adventures of my life was when I traveled through Southern Europe with my ex-boyfriend by car. We visited 5 countries and about 47 cities within 57 days. I wish I had known about this website before, because we were typical tourists who just visited the places which we found in tourist magazines or online. I am more interested in how local people live their everyday lives in different countries and how their lifestyle is different from mine who grew up in Hungary.

I've been living in London for 5 years. I like that many people live here from all around the world. During this time I got to know Polish, Indian, Nigerien, Jamaican, Nepalese, Iranian, Lithuanian, Spanish and Romanian people who were all open and welcoming with me. These encounters made me more curious about different cultures and lifestyles.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I was on the Euro trip I realized I was still an outsider, watching people going by and not having the feeling of what it's like to be a citizen there. However I still feel similar living in London after all these years. I believe that a city can be discovered best through the eyes of a local.

Interests

I like to be on the move. Whether I meet up with friends to watch a movie, go for a drink or take part in group activities like aerobics and spinning classes.
I also like cooking.
