Note: give me a reason to host you, not just the request please. I appreciate people who take the effort to get to know me before they send a request.

Now to the important stuff....

I'm not sure where to begin - if you wish to know more about me please bear with me for a few paragraphs.

I had a rough start to this life. I grew up in a very misguided family trying their best but never openly communicating with me or explaining what is happening. This led me to be confused and alienated by my peers in school, high school and eventually adult life.

I do consider myself lucky though. A lot of people who heard my story (and didn't change subject right away) noted I could have turned out a lot worse being an addict or a highly disfunctional person.

However I don't think I live my life to it's full potential and a lot of that has to do with how I had to behave/act/decide in order to "survive" my early years. My most wished for goal is to overcome these barriers and live with an open mind and a full heart.

Living life as it was meant to be. No more masks. No more mimicking. No more tying to fit in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe meeting a lot of people from various different cultures could help me in broadening my view of life and the universe.
Moving from Hungary to the UK changed my view on life a lot more than I expected.
I hope I can find like minded people as the common interest in travel and meeting other people and cultures could be a good basis.

Interests

Photography - you could say I'm an enthusiast photographer. Take a look here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/132034698@N08/
Also:
Music and art in general - I would like to overcome the barriers I have raised over the years and unleash my creativity and share it
Spirituality - I am not religious but I am fascinated by the amazing phenomenon that is life and all the wisdom that has been gathered over the centuries. My motto is that you don't need to be special to be spiritual as spirituality is everywhere.

• arts
• photography
• vegetarian
• yoga
• traveling
• music
• piano
• hiking
• martial arts
• wandering in nature

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: lots - classical, blues, jazz, jazzrock, fusion jazz, alternative, electronic music - all sounds good to me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I consider myself lucky more than my own feat in basically anything.

However here is a few things I like to remember:
Went to rural China to visit a kung fu school and train with them for 3 weeks.

That is all for now - I hope to add more in the future. You are very welcome to suggest stuff!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am more than happy to share the wisdom I have learned so far.
I find the Tao Te Ching really fascinating and always welcome to talk about it.

Also for people interested in photography out there I am happy to share my knowledge I gathered over the years.

I have a fair bit of knowledge on martial arts, being a regular prctitioner of Taiji (aka. Tai Chi) and Ashtanga Yoga. I also praticed kung fu for about 2 years.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am vegetarian but I am happy to share some good Hungarian recepies (most of them are very meat centric) and cook them for my hosts.

Being an enthusiast photographer I can do some photography work for my hosts - applying my knowledge and equipment where needed. You name it can do it for you. High quality print-ready pictures.

Also I am happy to share any of my talents for their use whether it be creativity or problem solving - I am also a happy owner of two able hands so if you happen to be in need for some assistance I'm not going to hesitate helping you out.
