ABOUT ME

I'm 30 years old, living in Budapest with my IT engineer husband of 11 years. We are a very fun couple, our motto is to live and let live. We like to travel very much, more interested in exploring cities and culture/art than partying. We are very adaptive to every situation and generally fun to be around.

I am a smoker (my husband quit recently but still smokes the occasional cigarette here and there) so that means that if your nose is sensitive, you can smell it on my clothes/hair etc. But I do believe in cultured smoking, I have my own little ashtray and I only smoke where I'm allowed. I like to cause minimal problems and don't like to make people uncomfortable :D (yes, I do mean the live and let live, respect of personal freedom is very important to me).

We like to talk very much about anything and everything, from pholosophy to history/culture. Like good night owls, talking can last well into the night :)

PHILOSOPHY

Watch, absorb, reflect. Repeat :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am very new to couchsurfing so at first I want to try it from the surfer's side. Hopefully we will soon move, and when we settle in our new place, we'll see :)

Interests

My main interest is in music and literature, though I like history very much. I'm mainly a swing/blues fan, but I have favorite artists of almost every genre.

I also like Sting, Manu Chao/Mano Negra, folk pop like Tarkan, Amr Diab, Dubliners, Gaelic Storm. Fav album ever is Drew Sarich's Silent Symphony.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being dyslexic, I taught myself English, and graduated from both high-school and college without help.
Also, technically I've been dead three times (my heart stopped).
