About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to truly understand what saudade is.

ABOUT US

I am a Hungarian student and doing my ERASMUS in Lisbon this semester. I have decided to explore as much as I just can while am here. My next destination that I am really fascinated by are Seville and Morocco. Here is some info about me:

I am a Hungarian law student from Budapest. I am keen on traveling, would love to visit as many countries and cities as I just can and meet people from every corner of the world! :) I have already been lucky to meet many nice and interesting persons on my trips.
I am participating in a student organization, within I teach history for highschool students, who are preparing for their final exams. I also deals with foreigners who come to Budapest as an erasmus student, since am a member of the ESN ELTE (Erasmus Student Network). I regard myself as an open-minded and easy-going person.

I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to live in England (I was an au-pair) and Turkey (study) as well, and other countries on my list too. :)

PHILOSOPHY

"Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon." W.A.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Tried it in 2011 at the first time (in Italy), since I have so many good experiences, really nice people hosted me and my friends in Spain, several places in Turkey and Portugal. Once I hosted my friends during the SZIGET festival in Budapest, which was also great.

Interests

I love playing music (guitar), traveling around, going out, spending time with friends, cooking, films, festivals, dancing. I love meeting new people, practicing foreign languages, and coming to know other's culture. Every conversation has a value. Am like a sponge, absorbing all the info. I gladly listen to everyone, any thoughts, any ideas, really anything.
