About Me

Hi! I'm Robert, a British-Hungarian guy living in London. An enthusiastic musician and also an IT engineer (yeah, have to pay off my bills). I've joined to the community among the first early birds and visited many countries since where usually found a kind host. But now I'm a homeowner, so try to give back to the community by hosting travelers. Got many interesting pals that had been staying at me and have to say, get to know someone from the other part of the world is something amazing!

JUST GOOD TO KNOW

Please respect house rules, offering my home for you is a kind thing. I'm friendly from the tiptoes to the top of my head, so building social interaction is up to you.

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy my life and try to be happy. Discover other cultures, meet interesting people and enjoy new impressions.
Learn for lifetime.

ABOUT ME

I'm open minded (but down to earth) and always interested in getting to know new people, great and unique souls.
I'm a blues/funk musician, I have lot's friends all around the world. In my daily life I've been a teacher for a while and currently I'm a senior web developer where I've to learn all time new technologies and technics. But after the daily job I just start playing music in the SOHO that is the biggest Las Vegas-like part of London. My friends keep me a happy person who has a lot of stories.
I'm in love with the whole world, like to see what happens in the nature and sometimes I just lose my sense of time while watching a beautiful masterpiece of Art. Yes, art is over all. :) I'm also interested in the history, really good to understand how this world has this current structure formed. It's like playing puzzle: every island connects to each other and the final result is a big picture. For this reason I just traveled everywhere where I wanted to see / understand something about being human, being civilized, etc.

PHILOSOPHY

Be free and open your mind, just take it easy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I traveled through whole Europe using this system (such us Germany, Austria, Italy, Croatia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Sweden, Canarias, etc,)

Interests

music, culture, arts, cooking fine dishes, talk, travel (of course)

Music, Movies, and Books

I really like the blues, funky, jazz, but I'm also friend of any type of music.
I respect B.B. King, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin because of their heritage.

Now I'm reading a really rare piece about the real history of the blues that is just amazing! I like to read books about history, adventures. My fav writer is the great P. Howard aka Rejtő Jenő, the Hungarian genius.
