ABOUT ME
~ Currently I am not able to host ~

After my 1 year long Europe-trip, then volunteering 9 months in Slovakia, wonderlusting a bit in France and Spain, after that staying in my hometown in Transylvania and welcoming the world at my home, now I'm re-hosting my couchsurfing host in Budapest:)

I am very liberal, gay friendly, creative and sometimes obstinate and independent. I like to prepare healthy foods and cakes I'm flexitarian.
I'm an animal lover and treehugger.
Please show me some good music!

PHILOSOPHY

More care
Less hate

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

First i hosted some people, i helped in the organisation of the Transylvanian Wintercamp in 2010, then i surfed a lot of couches mainly in Europe.I attended some meetings in Porto, Lisbon, Sevilla,Toulouse,Strasbourg,Dublin.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

On the 26th of August 2013 I was hitchhiking from Gijón to Galicia when I got robbed by the first driver. He basically ran away with my backpack, with all my stuff, except my wallet (with my bank card, some cash and ID card), phone and camera which I had in my pouch. I was really blocked and shocked. I went back to Gijón to my couchsurfing host, he and other friends encouraged me to continue my trip till the end of September, according to my original plan. With my host, Guillermo, we came up with the idea to post a message in the Asturias Couchsurfing group to ask the member’s help if they can donate some clothes for me to be able to finish my trip. In two days I received incredible amount of clothes, even shoes, bags and a swimming suit I could even have the chance to choose and prepare my new traveling bag and able to reach Galicia with a shared car. Since that I was hitchhiking again visiting new and old friends who encouraged me all the time.
It was amazing to experience the power of this community and the help of the people!
Thank you Asturias Couchsurfing group for giving the possibility to be able to finish my trip!
And a very big THANK YOU Guillermo Del Riego for your unselfish helping!!!
