About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I’m occupied with my work at CEU and my family (we have a daughter of 3 years old), and trying to explore life, myself and others, nature and new places.

ABOUT ME

I am an optimistic and curious person, always ready for new adventures and challenges. I travel, volunteer, worked and lived in different countries for some time.

I live in Budapest with my partner and 3 year old daughter. I work at Central European University, coordinating Visiting Research Fellowship program.

We travel a lot between Slovenia where our families live, and Hungary.

We try to explore different cities, nature, cultures, activities..

PHILOSOPHY

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler. (Thoreau)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I did host some people when I still lived in Slovenia and I really liked the experience. I enjoy taking people around and giving tips what to do, share stories.

I also visited a few European cities as a couchsurfer and those are some of my sweetest student memories.

Now I want to try couchsurfing as a family , both traveling and hosting. I hope we’ll have some nice experiences ;)
