About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Study to be a graphic designer :)

ABOUT ME

Two things I like: spokes and nipples :) Cycling, you know! I happen to be one of the founding members of my town's road cycling club, which is a top sports club in Hungary for recruiting young talents for cycling. Strange thing that I picked up running and I do it more, blah... Slowly preparing to join my triathlete friends :D

I love to believe that I'm living a balanced life: thinking the optimistic way, enjoying all the good things life can give, accepting those I cannot change, and have fun underways.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't take yourself too seriously...

Music, Movies, and Books

Django Reinhardt, Rosenberg Trio, Angelo Debarre, and the rest of gypsy swing players... also tons of other genres... Rock, blues, whatever... some favorite concerts from recent times: Henrik Freischlader, Night Flight Orchestra, Joe Satriani, Steel Panther... you get the point :D
Also please check out Kerekes Band, from my hometown - they are exceptional performers of the "Ethno Funk" style they distilled from authentic and modern musical genres!

Rejto Jeno (HU), Gerald Durrell (GB) and Jules Verne (FR) are some of my favourite writers...
