I'm a 25 year old living in Budapest. I love the city with a passion, and my ongoing mission is to discover all it has to offer. I've just started working, I do some research in the field of molecular biology and I teach practice groups at our university's med school, which I love, but also find very time-consuming. I like meeting new people, parties, eating, drinking (I'm a sucker for good wine), cooking, and it's one of my objectives to try and acquire as many things as I can. For me, life is all about experience and learning. I like to know the reasons, background and contexts - either about people, art or science.

Perché sono su Couchsurfing
It started out as a convenient way to get around, but I've had so many wonderful experiences with people I've met, that now it's rather a community I'm proud to belong to.
Musica, film e libri
I think I can say that culturally I'm omnivorous. Movies: basically anything from Kubrick, Tarantino, Pollack or either of the two great Andersons (Wes and P. T.) I also enjoy watching The Wire, Sopranos and Mad Men. Books: Franny and Zooey, The Name of the Rose; Metamorphoses; The unbearable lightness of being; The Master and Margarita; any Borges or Hrabal short story Music: Dire Straits; Dexter Gordon; AC/DC; Jacques Loussier; Frank Sinatra; Led Zeppelin; Metric; Childish Gambino; Jimi Hendrix; Jamie Cullum; Deep Purple; John Coltrane; Thelonious Monk; Tom Waits; Charles Mingus; Tech N9ne; Black Sabbath; Charlie Parker Comics: Y, Preacher, Hellblazer, Transmetropolitan - all that oldschool Vertigo goodness Podcasts: Freakonomics, Philosophize This, Sam Harris and Joe Rogan all day I also love going to the theatre, I like anything from Shakespeare to modern, weird-ass performances.
Una cosa straordinaria che ho fatto
Participated in creating a genetically modified strain of mice. They did not gain superpowers, but it was still pretty neat. Climbed the Fuji in the night and watched the sunrise from the summit.
Insegna, Impara, Condividi
Teach: some urban legends, molecular biology, Latin poetry, Hungarian 101. Learn: I love weird facts just about anything.
I miei interessi
Science of all kinds. Reading (recently I've been bouncing between psycholinguistics and classic sci-fi), theatre, movies, trekking, and needless to say travelling. I like going to bars with my friends, playing pool and bridge (I'm getting better by the day). I recently started wrestling and so far I'm loving it, and I occasionally play rugby in the city park. I'm an avid fan of combat sports, and I watch everything from kickboxing through MMA to judo.
