CURRENT MISSION

chill, read, learn, experience

ABOUT ME

I'm an energetic, positive, open-minded and tolerant person. Generally I’m very active and busy enjoying life (meeting people, going to concerts etc), I love sharing (good times, thoughts, food & wine etc) but I absolutely love time on my own as well: reading, cycling around singing or just chilling at home or in a park. Recently I rediscovered how much I love nature and I'm trying to spend as much time outdoors as possible. I often feel the need to get out of London and spend some time in the mountains.

I love all sorts of contemporary/alternative art/dance/theatre/literature, like slam poetry, street art etc - I love it when art is truly a part of everyday life, popping up in unexpected places and when instead of being some sort of an elitist experience, it is accessible to everyone.

I love walking around in new places randomly - I enjoy constantly exploring the unknown and discovering interesting stuff by accident.

Originally from Budapest (I love the place and would like to live there eventually), I consider myself very cosmopolitan – I used to live in Bulgaria for 4 years as a kid, spent 4 months in New York studying as a teenager and lived in Paris for 10 months in 2003-2004.

I’ve been in London for almost 4 years now and though I wasn’t planning to stay longer than 6 months, it seems that I’m stuck here for a while… I found my best job ever and though I managed to discover my favourite areas in London very early on, it took me a while to really begin to love this way too huge city. Also, I’ve been enjoying it a lot more since I got myself a bike :)

PHILOSOPHY

OSHO

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Gave English lessons in New York City at the age of 15.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you positive thinking :)

And cooking - have you ever wondered how truffels are made? mmmmmmmmm...yumyum!!!
I'd love to learn more about all sorts of exotic food - meaning anything I haven't eaten / made so far.

I can definitely show you good music you've never heard before - and I'm eager to hear your favourites!

Oh yes, and in case you really are a pervert (like me), I can teach you some tricks with Excel :)
