Hey, I'm Anita, a 25-year-old girl from Budapest, Hungary.
I study and work at the Department of Cognitive Sciences at the University of Technology and Economics, and I'm super interested in how the human brain and the memory works. Although a big part of my day is about science, I try to dedicate the remaining time to arts, friends and traveling. I'm an extroverted, open-minded, reliable and optimistic person, who's interested in different people and cultures. I have itchy feet - which means that 2-3 times a year I travel abroad, and anytime I travel I use couchsurfing.
I'm on couchsurfing since 2013, and since then I've had many good experiences - all the people that I met added something extra to my journey and I'm really grateful for that!
I used to host travellers in my apartment, too, but I've moved to a different flat recently - which is a little messy now, but right after I fix it, I'll definitely host again. Even so, don't hesitate to write to me if you're interested in where to go and what to do in Budapest. :)
