ABOUT ME

I'm an open-minded person, who likes to make friends. If I'm not with them, I read books (mostly classical literature), listen to music, ride my bike, and cook, cook, cook (of course the best is to cook for my friends).
I like to travel so much, but for me the most beautiful city on Earth is Budapest, so I'm always happy to return.
For a few years now I travel with my husband, who is an old CS guy, too.

PHILOSOPHY

The biggest goal in my life is to always eat whatever I like. For example if I want to eat sushi for a whole week, I could eat sushi...
Apart from the jokes, my personal philosophy is to accept each other as we are, and never hurt noone, if it's possible. And enjoy life, of course :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As I adore Budapest (I live here for about 10 years) I like to show it to foreigners. I know the best places, the nicest pubs, most beautiful buildings and the most interesting parts of the city...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CouchSurfing is fun!
First I just hosted people, because my researches didn't let me go. It was fantastic! I had a great time with Tai-Chun from Taiwan, Ahmed from Egypt, Jasmine from the USA, Caitlin from Canada, Ahava from Israel...
Then I met my boyfriend (who became my husband soon), and begin to travel together. It's good to be a guest, too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think the most amazing thing in my life was to see Firenze.
Update: the Judean desert. The sun rising above Yam Hamelach.

Teach, Learn, Share

First of all: language-exchange! Hungarian is one of the most difficult languages, but it is also one of the most beautiful ones. Though I'm not a language teacher, I like to teach Hungarian to foreigners - and I like to learn their language, too.
I know a lot about the history and the traditions of Hungary, if someone is interested, I can tell interesting stories.
I cook quite well - I can teach how to prepare a good paprikáscsirke (chicken with red paprika - special hungarian dish), or whatever you like.
I know a lot about cultivating bacteria :-)
