ABOUT ME A long time journalist, currently working on a group of hyperlocal websites under the name www.ittlakunk.hu comprising the 23 districts of my city, Budapest. Born and raised here, I have travelled extensively in Europe and some other parts of the world. Please, no arrivals after midnight and no leaves before 8 am. Guests should be able to speak a decent English or German or Hungarian. They should have full, real names on their CS profile and some feedbacks. Those who visit Budapest for enjoying the night life in the party district, fare better if they stay in that neighborhood, on the Pest side. PHILOSOPHY Humans are quite complex animals.
