Hey 🌞

I’m István, a Hungarian guy who loves connecting with travelers from every corner of the world. I enjoy sharing tips on how to explore places on a budget and still have unforgettable adventures.

People often describe me as funny, curious, and full of positive energy. I feel at ease around open-minded people, and I truly believe that friendship is one of life’s greatest treasures. Meeting new people always inspires me — we exchange ideas, discover new perspectives, and create stories worth remembering.

I’m passionate about photography 📸 — you’ll often find me capturing everyday moments and turning them into memories. (Check out my shots on Instagram: @sagiisti9 , @s.istvan9.)
Sports have also been a big part of my life: I play soccer, go running, and, just for fun, ride a unicycle.

For me, Couchsurfing isn’t just about a place to stay, it’s about real connections, laughter, and stories we’ll both remember long after the trip.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’d love to learn new things, experience cultures from the inside, step out of my comfort zone, and make new friends along the way.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite band is Imagine Dragons — I honestly love all of their songs. 🎶
I’m also really into electronic music, especially dubstep.

When it comes to books and movies, The Hobbit is at the top of my list — I can watch or read it anytime and still get inspired. 📚🎬
