Hi, I’m Balint! Originally from Hungary, I’ve recently made Madrid my home and am loving everything this vibrant city has to offer. I’m a digital product manager with a passion for connecting with people, learning about different cultures, and experiencing the unique rhythm of each place I visit.

When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me hunting down the best specialty coffee spots, exploring neighborhoods on foot, or staying active to balance my love of good food. I value meaningful conversations, shared experiences, and discovering the world through the eyes of locals and fellow travelers.

I joined Couchsurfing to build connections and dive deeper into the places I visit. Whether it’s sharing a meal, swapping travel stories, or simply exploring together, I’m always up for new experiences and meeting people from all walks of life.

Looking forward to connecting!

PS: for more photos my IG is szabo_balint.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

Because I believe in people over places. Traveling and living in new cities are exciting, but what really makes them memorable are the connections you make. I love learning about other cultures, sharing stories, and building friendships that last longer than a weekend.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I traveled to Argentina, explored the vibrant streets of Buenos Aires, and sipped Malbec, did a horseriding tour in the heart of Mendoza’s wine country. Along the way, I embraced the culture, met incredible people, and sadly did not dance (but that should change in Madrid!). It was an unforgettable blend of adventure, relaxation, and discovery.
