Overview
About Me
I am a Budapest-based history and English secondary school teacher, who loves travelling and taking pictures.
I love reading. We raise two boys with my wife, Juli. I love playing tennis and doing all kinds of sports.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
New places and people fascinate me, and I consider couchsurfing a fun and cheap way of travelling and meeting people.

I have worked as a cruiseship waiter and travelled around the world so that I can follow my dream to become a Hungarian secondary school teacher and teach kids.
Teach, Learn, Share
There are many ways of travelling (like reading, listening to music) for some you have to move, for some you don't, but being on the road with or without directions helps all of us to learn.
