Hi! My name is Piroska. (fun fact: it's actually Little Red Riding Hood's name in Hungarian) I'm from Budapest, Hungary, and I'm currently doing my Master's degree in Human Ecology which is all about making this beautiful planet Earth a better place to live on! :) Before this, I studied Sociology. I am also working part time in an eco-store called Ecoizm, making content online, translating and dealing with international resellers and customers.

I am traveling with my boyfriend Dani Büki who is a great guy, and we've been together for 4 years now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are looking for an authentic experience and not just the touristy side of the town. We know this from experience: the parts that tourist see of Budapest is beautiful, of course, but there are so many hidden wonders that are hard to seek out if you don't know where to look for them. We hope that there are people everywhere who are proud of those sides of their hometowns, and would be willing to accept us there, so we can get to know the real city. Also, to not beat around the bush: we're both uni students and short on money.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't really like to pick favourites, because they change all the time but here are what I like nowdays:
Music: Tom Rosenthal, The XX, This is the Kit, Mumford and Sons, Lorde, Fun, Placebo, and Hungarian indie bands.
We are currently binge watching 30 Rock with my bf.
I love watching documentaries about environmental issues and inspiring stories in this field like The Economics of Happiness or Happiness is a Chicken - Unlearning.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking is definitely something we love to do with my boyfriend, and nobody ever complained about it :)
