About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To communicate better in Hungarian

ABOUT ME

I'm always up for a good time. But if it's time to get serious, I guess I can be serious too.

PHILOSOPHY

One of my favorite activities is engaging in a late night conversation which has no concept of time and carries into the early morning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I met my girlfriend, traveled the world, and learned a language all using CS.

Generally, I'm just looking for good times and fun people to share them with.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw a sea-turtle hatch and successfully evade malicious crabs on its way to the sea.

Teach, Learn, Share

What I want to learn: Hungarian
If you want to meet for a drink and help me with my Hungarian I would greatly appreciate it! I've been studying the language seriously for a while now and I'm not stopping anytime soon.

Skills of mine:
I played soccer all my life and plan on coaching one day. I'd love to help somebody's technical skills out or play in any sort of pick up game. I can also teach people how to do some cool tricks with a ball.

I also have played alot and consider myself good at the following:
Basketball, Ping Pong, Video Games, and Chess.
I am a mathematics private tutor so I can offer help with math and generally anything left-brain oriented. For example I taught a 9 year old how to solve a Rubik's cube, so I think I can teach you too.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Canada, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Slovakia

Countries I’ve Lived In

Hungary, United States
