A 23-year-old college student from Budapest, Hungary, initially studying in Vienna but doing an exchange at the University of Chicago this year. I love to explore new places, primarily through the eyes of locals. I am passionate about philosophy, especially aesthetics, and I love to have deep conversations, and exchange views, I think this is how I grow. I love dancing, playing the piano, drawing, painting, going out and exploring new places but also staying in, and reading my book.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am in the US until the end of May, when I go back to Europe. I would like to make the most out of it. I want to explore the country while I am here, it might be a one-time opportunity for me to be here. I would love to explore Canada through the eyes of locals, and that is the reason why I thought Couchsurfing might be the best way to do that.
