::: Please help me keep my faith in the Couchsurfing community and send me personalized requests. :) :::

I am a backpacker trying to discover every country on my own. However usually I have only limited time to spend at a place, which inhibits me to go deep enough to understand the culture and find the hidden gems. So this is the point when couchsurfing community helps a lot.

Nowadays my wanderlust brings me mountainous regions or depths of the oceans. If I have the opportunity I take my SCUBA gear, climbing shoes/skis to explore new horizons.

PHILOSOPHY
Leave your comfort zone to face your real self.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been living in Budapest for more than 10 years now so I can recommend some good places to hang out, and help you to find the activities that suit you the best.

Our surfers are usually curious about the local cuisine and Hungarian fast food, so here is a brief summary of it: http://nickhilditch.com/magyarfood/

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Please do not send us a couch request if you do not have any previous CS experience or references.

This might sound exclusive but we experienced that we get along much better with surfers who know how to deal with the situation that involves lot of trust, giving, accepting and living together.

We also gathered first some experience by hosting and started surfing later...

Teach, Learn, Share

I am happy to teach how to prepare couple of Hungarian dishes or the very basics of rock climbing.

I have a didgeridoo but our playing skills are rudimentary so we would be happy if someone could teach a bit :)
