Hi all :-)

I'm an urban planner working in Paris. Also I want to improve my languages skills, I always start to learn something, get busy, and forget what I learnt before...

I like to explore new cities, drink reasonably in pubs (usually good ciders and beers), watch TV shows. I love reading (I passed the equivalent of English A-Levels in literature). What else... I love eating. First thing I do in a new city is trying local food. I grew up in a very cosmopolite city, so I'm quite open to new cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What mostly makes a country interesting is the people living there. That's why I am here.

Unfortunately, I can't really host people right now. Hopefully I'll be able to do it later.

Last movie I have seen is "The Tragedy of Man" from Marcell Jankovics. Honestly, I have so many movies and books I love, it's really difficult to pick something up :-) One of the books which comes up automatically in my mind is Down in and out in Paris and London from George Orwell. At this moment I am really into South American literature.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can't really say that I have ever done something truly amazing. However, I went hiking in Ireland with friends, and we ended up in front of a gigantic bonfire in the center of (London)Derry. It was truly impressive.

Oh. Maybe in Hungary actually. I went to visit Kékestető in April, and for an unknown reason it started to snow a lot, and I was only wearing a jumper... haha. Strangely enough, it was very warm in Budapest. I guess the amazing part of this event is that I survived in the cold (less than 0 degrees) with only a jumper!
