About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy my peaceful life and settle down.

ABOUT ME

I like the bubbling life and to be honest I like to be the main bubble. I'm an energetic, dynamic, and quite random girl who has no fear of anything. Love traveling, making new friendships, enjoying life, Love challenges and adventures. :)

This is a video of me and CSers, who became my friends, what was taken in Morocco. We had an amazing time, that was my first time out of Europe. Africa, Morocco. Fun, fun, fun. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dp_Swj6e2Hs
(I was named Shakira by local people that's why the whole dancing and the way of our video was started)

PHILOSOPHY

What you give that you get back.
Respect people as you want to be respected.
Be open and friendly to the people and you never be in trouble. Learn about cultures when you get there respect it and try to be involved in local attractions.
Peace, love, happiness, big smile and the whole world is yours. ^.^

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting, surfing, join CS meetings anywhere in the World, helping people showing around in the city. I am able to give you advices if you come to Edinburgh and also pretty much anywhere in Scotland. Same with Hungary. I also can share my experiences from the other countries. ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfing:
I had an amazing crazy story in France from 2009... and it wasn't even a proper CS surfing, although that time stamped me and since that time I've loved helping other travelers.
I flew to Lion in January 2009 and I had to reach Puy Saint Vincent (PSV). My plane planded really late, no more buses just the last bus back to the bus station which was closed after I arrived. No bus, no train. Stations are closed. -10 degrees outside... Of course, my phone didn't work as no reception, too cold, etc. I was alone, with a little English knowledge. That was enough to find a friendly Polish guy who told me 'he will be picked up by his friends and they'll go to a hotel where all of them work for that season and I can go with them'... well. I did, I ended up in a really nice hotel, where I got free accommodation and next morning breakfast. I had a very warm room with two Romanian girls. Next day was no bus services so I haven't had a chance to go to see my skiing friend in PSV. This guy and his Romanian friend got a car and took me up, very, very close to that ski paradise where my friends were waiting for me. All around snow and cold. These guys obviously saved my life. And I would never ever forget it! Since that time, I changed. I help as much as I can, speak more and very confidential to strangers, different and new people (carefully of course). Doesn't matter where they are from and what they do. You never know who you meet with.

2010: I surfed in Copenhagen but that story was quite easy except the roundabout which our car jumped under my control and my friend can't forget. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every time brings different things. Don't really want to specify. If we have a conversation and you have plenty of time I will tell you some stories. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Life is teaching us every day. Open your eyes, listen, think and create something new and good.

There is a business what takes people closer to each other, get knowing and selling products, learning how we have to have a presentation, speak to others. Teaching and learning every day in a very great environment full up positivism, respect and success. Share information and that keeps you going. Want the same? Contact me! ;)

I had a project called 'KISS THE WORLD' with my friend (http://www.couchsurfing.org/people/tschabee/). It was born in Wales just before he started his all around the world trip (in Sept 2011). And I joined him in South-East Asia in 2012.
What is this project about? It takes you all around the world to famous and not very known places. Meet people, take photos, videos everywhere with people, who are able to send kisses and messages to them Friends and Family. Spread Love and Peace and of course with Kisses!

We had on online radio interview from Bali, Indonesia and this project was in a TV show interview in Hungary in March 2012:
(It is in Hungarian, but there is a slideshow of photos in the middle of the interview)

In these days we hardly work on this non-profit project but sometimes surprisingly we still upload few funny or incredible pictures.
