We are Gyöngyi and my husband, Paul, living in Cluj-Napoca, Romania and we are on this platform because we love the couchsurfing community and spirit.

I, Gyöngyi, found a new hobby in discovering human emotions, psychology, human behavior, brain functions and feelings and such, Paul is always excited about history, football (Arsenal forever) and finances. We’re a good mix of everything. And we both love yoga and dancing (west coast swing).

We enjoy sharing our travels and life experiences with people and just as much – if not more – find delight in listening to stories. Our latest „accomplishment” is a 3-year-lasting full-time travel in Europe living in our self-converted campervan, which we finished in 2022.

We are also vegetarian. The easiest way to say it is we don't eat meat or fish or any animals which used to be alive before ending up on our plates.

And we have a dog. A german shepherd mix, Devi, who finally grew up (got over the dinosaur period 😊) and is a very good boy (slightly reactive towards other animals).
He has a somewhat shy personality; he will most likely ignore you after the first 10 minutes. He’s not crazy about being touched either (he tolerates it 😊). And of course, he sheds a lot. If you decide to visit us, be aware, there’s a good amount of dog hair despite our everyday effort to get rid of it. We call it “dog glitter” :)
Since we live in a flat, without any garden, if you choose to stay with us there’s no way you can avoid meeting him 😊.
For this purpose, please reassure us in your message that you’re comfortable being around big dogs.

What do we like?... We love mountains, in all shapes and forms. Hiking, sleeping in a tent, looking at the stars at night, being in nature as much as possible.
And we also love spending time with people. Sharing ideas, believing that all people are different yet very much the same. We love animals (obviously). We love long conversations and sometimes we love silence as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We would like to know the culture, the history, the food, the language of other countries, not only buildings, so we think that couchsurfing is a very good way to do that.
We would like to share our time talking with people of the places we're passing through, with another culture, other language and customs.

We want to meet people, make friends, and immerse ourselves in new cultures!
