About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"I'm out here on my journey /Trying to make the most of it"

ABOUT ME

I'm a kind of person who can never stay in one place for a long time, routine makes me bored, especially since I spent a year as an Erasmus student in Cologne... Those who have participated in Erasmus, know what I'm talking about!
I'm constantly looking for new challenges and experiences, let it be a shelf to be fixed on the wall or a trip across the USA.
I love hanging out with my friends: going out, making bike trips or just talking about the questions of life over a coffe.
I can offer a place to stay in my flat in Budapest, or just meet up to show travellers some parts of my city.

PHILOSOPHY

"I cannot rest from travel, I will drink life to the lees" -Tennyson

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host, I surf

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted people and surfed as well a few times, both alone and with friends. I have had really great amd not so great experiences as well... But even from the less good ones, I've learned a lot like how you have to be cautious and always listen to your instincts and first impressions. Still, I would say it was worth the while because I got to know a few amazing people, so I'm still optimistic about CS and look forward to have more and more great encounters.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done Erasmus... I waited for the sunrise in Barcelona beach after a party-night. I've slept in the woods once with a sleeping bag only, this was memorable as well. I have shared a flat with a chicken for 1 year, but my feelings about this are ambivalent.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well I'm quite good at making pancakes... I also enjoy sewing & reparing old stuff like clothes or furniture, planning redecoration and doing it by myself. I know how to sail... but this is not too practical in everyday life.
