About Me

I am 26 years old and I am currently working at the University of Szeged as a PhD student. I am involed in atmospheric themed research. I am also paralelly learning to become a specialzed translator in natural sciences. I am also an internatinal mentor of foreign students at the university.
I have been playing in an instrumental post-rock band for 7 years now. I play guitar and bass.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the idea of staying at interesting local peaople when I travel abroad. I think one can learn much more about a foreign country this way than by staying at a hotel with a more sterile atmosphere.

Interests

I am intrested in global and local environmental issues. I love reading and listening to music. I am trying to travel as much as you can. I am interested in getting to know new people and learn about other cultures.
