About Me

CURRENT MISSION

work less, live more

ABOUT ME

I´m a 29-year old female wo lives right now in Stuttgart (where Mercedes and Porsche comes from =). I was born in Budapest, Hungary, I guess that´s why I´m so interested in Middle and Eastern Europe so much. I have lived some years in Budapest, Frankfurt and Berlin and work as a journalist. I´m interested in people & history & love to learn new languages.

PHILOSOPHY

Life must be understood backwards; but it must be lived forward.
--Soren Kierkegaard

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
