About Me

ABOUT ME

I have a degree in law but I'm much more interested in arts and history (altough sadly I don't have the talent to write/act/dance/play an instrument)

PHILOSOPHY

"Non farti mai dire dagli altri chi devi amare, e chi devi odiare. Sbaglia per conto tuo, sempre."

"Legnagyobb cél pedig, itt, e földi létben,
Ember lenni mindég, minden körülményben."

"Maradj hűséges Istenedhez, hazádhoz es jellemedhez. Amen"

"Mit mondott az öreg Kiss? Ne csak együnk, igyunk is!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

- actually I work in Luxembourg, so hosting is usually not an option -

If my schedule and obligations allow it, I will be always glad to host you in Lendva. All in one, if you decide that you want to discover Lendva despite its relative non-importance, I will do everything I can to facilitate your visit (including picking you up at the nearest (25 km) station and showing you the region).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was hosted several times in France years ago and I hosted six or seven times till now - yeah, Lendva is becoming increasingly popular:). I think CS is much more than a simple free hosting page: first of all, as most of the time I travel alone it means a conversation partner, next, the CSers take you to places you would pass by normally, and the most important, (with a few exceptions) CSers are among the best and the most interesting people on the world!

Interests

travelling, history and art history, classical literature, music, theatre, dance (swing and charleston), bridge, a bit of cycling, the Catalanist movement and skateboarding (altough I started it too late to make any progress)

Teach, Learn, Share

maybe Hungarian if nothing else

For cooking lessons you should find somebody else, even a year abroad hasn't improved my skills (but if you come to me, my mother will provide you with all the regional specialities)
