PHILOSOPHY

When one door closes, another open, but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one that has opened for us!

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met with the CS at very first time in this year in Rio when I was in trouble as my local colleagues cancelled their plan to come up to Rio from Curitiba for the Carnival. I got the news just 1 week before the departure. I did not find cost reasonable accommodation but i had finally a room via air bnb. Next morning I started to discover the city when 3 lovely ladies found me who were hosted by a local guy via CS. We had a wonderful week together and I got a fantastic experience from Eli. He showed us everything and introduce us into the real carnival feeling of Rio.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Movie: historical

Music: Celine Dion, Roxette, Shade, Amr Diab

Books: about Egypt / Tudor dinasty of the UK

Sommelier: Intermediate and Advanced Level Qualification. My favorite red one is Shiraz of Australia but I also love Malbec from Argentina or Pinotage from South Africa. The key point is that it matches with dark chocolate of Equador! :) My preferred white ones are Sauvignon Blanc from NZ, Chenin Blanc from South Africa or Soave from Italy.

Diving: Enjoy the wonderful view of the coral reefs in Dahab (in Egypt)

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

1) Main secret sights of Budapest are not available via a normal tour. I am qualified as an official tour guide of Budapest even i am working as a financial advisor.

2) E. g. - local wines, restaurants, ruin pubs, the best spa of Budapest and many other good things ...

3) Do you like the Hungarian Cuisine? Have you heard about "Langosh", "Goulash", "Fish Soup", "Túró Rudi", "Stuffed Cabbage", "Jokai Bean Soup", "Gundel Pancake"?
