CURRENT MISSION

being aware of the present moment

ABOUT ME

I am coming from a small town from Transilvania where my parents are still living. I am Hungarian and when I was 22 moved to Budapest and lived there for 16 years. I worked mostly in accounting while studying accounting, economics, marketing (my first degree). Then I decided to be adventurous and go to live somewhere else. I came to London in 2009 January. I travelled in US and Latin America. Would be nice to do some more travel. I am practicing yoga for 10 years which helped me to develop a healthy life-style and a "forever young" attitude.

I love my journey in this planet and the most special moments in my life are the ones which are opening a new perspective in something. Sometimes is just coming a good idea and finds me. After it I start to be very happy and telling myself: how could I live so long without this idea?:)

PHILOSOPHY

Today I think I have a lot to learn from other people. Especially to share.

Interests

Some people say I am really good in living my life. Maybe is true. Love enjoying what the present moment offers. "I am not the girl who misses much" do you believe? One day a friend believed. haha is a Beatles song.
I am studying illustration and printmaking. Is probably the craziest new hobby I started few years ago (doing art). Is a long way and lots of learning about myself. But I think one of the best things happened with me. I really enjoy it.

Illustration Now
I read a lot in Internet, websites, mostly about art, illnesses and alternative therapies (a crazy hobby) and still obligatory literature recommended by my teachers like Frankenstein. lol
My reading is still limited in Hungarian Literature.
I wish I red more in English, still very difficult, lots of best seller books are not very enjoyable, the others I don`t understand. Always looking what is in between. I am often listening/reading audio books. Now just found The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. I like it.

food:I am trying out new diets, was diagnosed with coeliac (gluten allergy) then I found out that paleo diet is the best. Now in a trial period, see how it works. Already started to enjoy. Lots of fresh, healthy food. Miso soup and Sushi, fish and salad for eating out, all sort of creative cooking if I am at home. :)
