Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting, guiding, surfing.
I've already surfed on many couches all around Europe and even in Iran and hosted people both in Vác and in Budapest together with my wife.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosting, guiding, surfing...

I had the chance to meet several nice and helpful people via Couchsurfing. You can learn much more about people and cities, so I find this an awesome idea.
I was regular visitor of the weekly Budapest CS-meetings, where I met hundreds of interesting people from all over the world.
I try to show and popularize my home town for those (unfortunately not too many) CSurfers who plan to visit Vác, and we were hosting together with my wife at our place in Budapest until our son was born. Now the guest room is occupied by him, but I am happy to meet and guide travelers in Budapest.
