About Me

I'm an ESL teacher who loves travelling and getting to know new cultures and new people. I'm vegan (but try not to be obnoxious about it!!). I love eating and cooking, museums, books, sewing, my 2 cats, hiking, photography. Based in Hungary and always keen to see more of the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet others, to see new places, to hear new ideas, and have a more authentic experience of the places I visit!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: James Taylor, Paul Simon, Josh Pyke, Belle and Sebastian, Camera Obscura, Math and Physics Club, Lorde, Bon Iver.. and a healthy sprinkling of Motown/60's classics and show tunes. (Should I be proud that I know Hamilton in its entirety? Probably not. But am I proud? Heck yes.)

Movies: Legally Blonde, Hunting and Gathering, The Boat That Rocked. Also a devotee of Rupaul's Drag Race.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I visited a rose oil distilling factory in the mountains of Bulgaria and was part of a rose festival there!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love baking bread and I also love cooking vegan/vegetarian food. And of course I can help with English conversation practise.
I play the ukulele (but can always improve!). I love languages and am always keen to learn some new words. I also dabble in tarot reading and astrology.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook pretty well and can always be relied on to bring the wine and a Spotify playlist. I have a ready supply of terrible puns up my sleeve. Also, I can make it through an entire Monopoly game without getting murderous.
