I'm a 23-year-old uni student in Budapest. I live with my boyfriend who is from Brazil and we would like to travel the world together.
I am vegetarian and (sort of) outgoing.

I am slightly addicted to youtube and one day I want to start my own channel, probably about traveling and skincare. I also love cooking very much, I'm not into junk food at all. I'm a dedicated animal lover, love hiking in the mountains- my father is a professional hiker (in fact he was one of the first Hungarians in Greenland and he has been to the Himalayas and many other places thus I have a great interest in this too).
I'm in English and American studies so I can give a lengthy speech on literature and linguistics as well as some social studies but my main focus remains TEFL (teaching English as a foreign language).

I speak Hungarian and English but I am quite fluent in Spanish too. Currently, I study Portuguese but I am too shy to speak as no one understands my silly accent :D

You can find me on Instagram as @timea_tarjanyi if you need verification :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My aim here is not only to find hosts but to attend events as I have done many times. I would like to host a lot of people too- the problem is that I live so far from the capital that no one really wants to stay here.

My goal as a host is to provide a comfortable environment where you don't have to feel embarrassed. Going to strangers' houses is uncomfortable enough already, I want to make your stay good where you don't have to be ashamed of anything. I have been hosted by people who just made me feel I was not welcome in their house and I felt very ashamed for every little thing I had to ask from them (despite their numerous positive references). I don't want this to happen to anyone I host even if we don't become friends at the end.

I am vegetarian/vegan (somewhere in between) but I can assure you I won't judge you for your eating habits. Here we won't judge you for anything as long as you are respectful to us too. I am a very understanding and easy-going person and there is nothing you cannot ask me.

Interests

I am a skincare and makeup enthusiast, love to cook and learn languages as a hobby.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm very eclectic but mainly reggaeton and classic rock.
AC/DC, Scorpions, some Hungarian pop, J Balvin, you tell me, I find some great music in every genre.
I even enjoy classical music even though I am not very educated about it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, I teach English as a second language to Chinese kids..... You can imagine. It is hard but rewarding, whenever I get good feedback from my students or they say at the end of the class that "I love you, teacher" I feel so blessed that hard work pays off- but you can definitely tell I always have room for improvement regarding my teaching technique and language skills.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Hungarian and English :D... I am the grammar police. (strong hypocrisy there)
Hmm, I can give some beauty care tips for girls, and brief education on vegetarianism and Hungarian culture.
Show around my city, or Budapest, do your makeup, etc...:D

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can bring you tobacco and alcohol since in Hungary these are quite cheap as a gift for hosting but I can share my knowledge (the little I have) and food with my hosts.
