About Me

In brief: i'm a humanist, a pacifist, but not an idealist. My racionalism is pure and cold, but my heart can be warmed. I'm a liberal, but not a radical . I prefer empathy and tolerance, but I can't stand ignorance (wow, that rhymed!). I love to understand and embrace viewpoints, also to express my own. I value independent and critical thinking. You can ask anything and probably I will have an opinion about it, ready to share and listen to yours.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I start my journey to travel, work, study and experience things at all the places I've imagined and wanted to visit. First, all around Europe. And of course, because I'm on a budget... :)

Interests

I'm kind of a "science guy". I'm interested in many aspects of social sciences, psychology, cultural differences and history (especially XX. century), futurology and all in all, human behavior. About the more entertaining side, I'm also interested in filmmaking and all kinds of car racing! Some might call me a bit of a geek, but hey, I take that!

Music, Movies, and Books

Mostly classic rock and metal since the 60's to the 80's, but I do like a lot of other genres, like blues, reggea, ambient, deep house, etc, etc.
Favorite actors: Al Pacino and Edward Norton, favorite directors: Roman Polanski, Quentin Tarantino and Martin Scorsese, but I'm interested in almost all types of movies, except musicals and shallow romantic comedies. Favorite genre: sci-fi.
I read a lot. Really, a lot. I highly enjoy the works of Carl Sagan, Richard Dawkins and Thor Heyerdahl for example, ethnographic and social studies, philosophy, historical documents, but also enjoy George R. R. Martin's or Stephen King's bestsellers. I grew up on the fantasy of J. R. R. Tolkien and the science-fiction of Isaac Asimov.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Begin my journey.
Discovering the value of knowledge.
Getting my first Hungarian Vizsla, they are awesome!
Meeting Michael Schumacher :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always opened for both learning and teaching about the topics I'm interested in. Once I wanted to be a teacher and I still have the desire to explain things and widen people's knowledge. I'm also interested in personal life-stories, different viewpoints and experiences. The best way to learn is exchanging ideas, knowledge and listening to people and your enviroment. The topic all above I can teach you is society, human behavior and understanding cultural differences.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Exchanging knowledge, opinions, experiences and of course, some fun. I'm open minded and want to know everything which fits to my interests.
You have a dog, cat or an aquarium with tropical fish? I'd be happy to help with them!
Also I can make you some authentic hungarian food ;)
