About Me

We are a couple living in Bratislava/Pozsony/Pressburg. She, an active multi-tasker, changing contexts, but basically committed to change management in different settings (was her profile originnaly, but allowed him to intrude it :-). He, a teacher and journalist.

We are full-time multi-tasking on issues related to socioeconomic development and upscaling social innovation, ,media freedom issues, whereas trying to avoid overkill by stretching the leg with a good book, with a trip to the Caucasus or by a bit of sports (climbing, hiking, earlier fencing). Trying not to loose focus in all this. Sometime we actually do succeed. Judit is the lucky one, who has been taken by her jobs to worlds that are worth to experience. And its not the TOP10 of the lonely planet ;-)

ABOUT ME

A person with interest for the not obvious, respectful and who has got a bit of "sane madness". ....

PHILOSOPHY

"If noise bothers you, listen to it" John Cage

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Bratislava, Pressburg, Prešporok, Pozsony, Wilsonovo... Capital of Slovakia.... happened to be a multiethnic hub, now it´s striving to recover its past. There you would meet me, if I wouldn´t have moved to Vienna.. :-) Well, actually back again to Bratislava. We have a double room, with an open space between living and sleeping area. If you don´t mind sharing space, a matrace is available.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Making friends through CS in Israel, Portugal and Spain, Austria, Slovakia, Kosovo and yet more to come ....

Interests

Our interests reflect our desire to learn, to experience, to feel and to share the things we have in common and in what we differ.

Music, Movies, and Books

The list is so old, but partially still valid :-)

MUSIC: Tom Waits, Nick Cave, King Crimson, Hiromi, Iva Bittova (Judit will explain :), PJ Harvey, Anthony Hegarty, Richard Bona, all the classics and new giants...especially when these are played in special places, and many other local heros...
Insider recommendation: http://www.arcustemporum.hu/lang/en/

MOVIES: We enjoy to watch Asian movies, they are strangely beautiful. The crazy-sad Man on the Moon is one of favorites, PINA, from Win Wenders, The Turin horse and Deadpool ;-).

BOOKS: Judit loves and hates Michelle Houellebecq. Chaim Potok touches a lot. Reading Slovak, Czech, Austrian and Hungarian authors in original reminds us of our privilage of being central European.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rain in the desert :-) Surviving the Marrakesh traffic jam...
Women cooperative around Srebrenica...
Transylvanian International Film Festival in Cluj/Kolozsvár.
Lvov/Lviv/Lemberg - big love!

Teach, Learn, Share

I guess most of the people appreciate if somebody explains to them the logic of modern fencing ;-) Would be my pleasure..
