Sorry, over the hot season I am quite often away from the city and cannot host guests.
CURRENT MISSION

To understand more of language and mind.

ABOUT ME

Open-minded, a lifetime learner, interested in languages and their speakers, happy to host friends with similar interests.

PHILOSOPHY

"Deeds are the pulse of time. (T.S. Eliot)" , though I sometimes need a push to get off the couch and do something creative.

I can offer my guests a welcome drink, plenty of coffee and tea daily, in fair weather a short cruise on the river Danube, a night drive throughout the city, showing the stunning view from Gellért Hill. In summer a weekend away in our village house in the rolling land in the South of Hungary is also possible.
