About Me

As a university student I am really about to be open-minded, to travel and see the most significant treasures all around the world. Moreover, I think gettink to know mindsets of foreigner people also could be quite beneficial. Mostly, I am to live all my opportunities what life brings to me, that is why I have already spent 2 amazing summers in a summer camp, Pennsylvania, USA. I can surely say that travelling has become a major part in my life, and I in the near future, I want to map more of the world.
As we live in the 21th century, I really think it is our duty to get to know point of views and numberous cultures with relevant backgrounds. That is why I want to gain myself to strenghten my - previously mentioned - adopoting skills.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Basically I like spontaneous things, and I think going on a couchsurfing is a half-way spontaneous thing to do. When I had the opportunity to travel in the US, once I had a local tourist guide by my side. The experience I had was just mesmerizing, becuase through my couchsurfing-host I got to know New York like nobody else, for sure. I want to get to know places with the knowledge of a local guide, with whom I can spend 1-2 days.
The quality and quantity of time are also important for me, because if we hang out with our host, we do not get to know only the city itself, but the person as well. I am really into hard-talks and meaningful conversations, especially with a glass of wine by my side. I think getting to know both city and local, is such experience that I would not forget for a long-long time, because if you combine city with local, that equals lifestyle as well. This is the feeling I want to relive again and again.
Moreover, I also want to give a relevant picture of Hungary, representing my country. I think even most of the EU citizens do not not where Hungary is located. I want to repsesent our culture, heritage and outlook on life. If I had to summary in 1 sentence what is my aim thorugh Couchsurfing, I would say the following statement: Give and Get.

Interests

I study in a teacher training program, to become one day a high school teacher of English and History. Looking at the basis of these two subject, you might think I am into socail issues and international topics. In this case, this suggestion would be quite right.
I also added "culinary" as my last interest, because I got to know what it is feel like to work in a camp kitchen for 6 months. Through this experience, I got to know a lot of things how to handle in the kitchen, and at the end of this experience I just realized, that I am really into culinary topics ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

If I had to choose which is my favorite book ever, I'd might say the whole Harry Potter series. I got to learn reading on the first HP book, and went totally crazy just before the relising of the last piece of this series. Probably I read all of them around 2 or 3 times.
As for movies, I am really into dramas historical and thoughtful movies,, but sometimes I just come up with the idea of a chilly and adventorous ones.
My music style is quite a bit of "mess" because I almost listen to all kind of music, so if you want to have a conversation on David Guetta or Mozart with Beethoven, I am not a frightened person to do so :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I jumped off from a 8-metres-tall cliff into a pool. I really did get out of my comfort zone, and was just amazing afterwards.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am ready to learn mostly words and phrases from any language :)

Basically I want to share the mindset of a 22-year-old Hungarian guy, who is mostly passionate of religions, history and social issues.
