About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To become as magyar as mangalica !

ABOUT ME

Hello !

My name is Axel, I'm French (from Paris) and 24 years old. I travelled around the world for almost a year and then decided to settle in Budapest for a while.
I love sports (gymnastics, boxing), movies, going out, cooking, walking in parks, drinking coffee in immoderate quantity. Every now and then I like to do extreme activities like bungee jumping or snowboarding.

PHILOSOPHY

Take risks, get out of your comfort zone, improve yourself everyday.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm all new to the Couchsurfing community so I haven't participated much yet, but I´m open to hosting fun travellers in my cozy little flat in the center. I've always liked meeting people from other countries (I was part of my school´s Welcome Program for foreign students) but often didn't have the time because of studies and work so let's fix that !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None !

Although I do have the luck of having friends all over Europe and I have been surfing their couch hard these last few years ! Thanks to them I have very fond memories of weekends and vacations spent in Switzerland, Spain, Poland...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I´ve been travelling a lot lately and I've seen and done many amazing things but if I had to pick one experience I would say DEATH ROAD in Bolivia !
Basically you ride a mountain bike down a narrow, graveled, unsafe road that´s just next to a 450m cliff. Now that´s adrenaline for you...
