About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to see as much of the world as possible and just live without drama.

ABOUT ME

I live outside of Budapest. I'm an english teacher at a high school. I live with my girlfriend in a tiny little house and we have 2 puppies. I like to travel any time i get a break from school. I'm into outdoor things, wine things, and history.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to be accountable and admirable.....fail miserably, and then just go with plan B. I believe in brutal honesty, as long as it's not hurtful. I think any ass can kick down a barn door, but it takes a carpenter to build one. I think differences in people are beautiful.

(Open your eyes, look within. Are you satisfied with the life you're living?)
Bob Marley

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm looking to travel via CS. I think CS is the greatest way to travel because hosts can give you the real experience of a nation and a culture. It's as close to the original motivation for traveling as anything i've experienced. I am also open to hosting as well, but my town is on the outskirts of Budapest, so not too exciting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed now 4 times (Berlin, Malmo, Cluj, and Pecs). I have never hosted before because I didn't have space.

Interests

My friends are my biggest interest. But i love both playing and watching sports, traveling, movies, music, beer, and anything that's cool.
