About Me

I am a 31 year old female from Budapest, Hungary. Though I joined couchsurfing 3 years ado I didn't use it at all so I consider myself as a newly joined, as I am excited as hell to go on my dream trip this year. Packing all my courage and stuff and travel as far as Churchill Manitoba to snorkel with the most amazing mammals I have ever heard of - beluga whales.
Other than that I am a fun loving outgoing person, however I'd rather show who I am than write about it. It's like a self evaluation in a multi national company in the end of the year., when you have to write how amazing you are :) I'd rather let people decide :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have always loved traveling, however so far I haven't had a longer trip in one or more countries, which I'd like to change, so this year packing for my childhood dream vacation, that is a 2 and a half month travel mainly in Canada - BC, Alberta, Manitoba and Cuba. I'd like to get to know the people of the places I visit rather than just being a tourist. Hopefully I'll get to know amazing people via couchsurfing.

Interests

I am keen on cultures and languages most of the world doesn't know about - like Bashkir, Tuvan, people of Altay. I also love learning languages, I have studied at least 10 languages so far - which doesn't mean I can speak all of them :) however I can understand a lot, this makes me feel closer to the people and cultures I meet. I love swimming, doing kettlebell, walking, touring, traveling. I love people, am quite curious about others. I love singing, though my voice is awful and I also like cooking at times :)
The most I love is WHALES, mainly orcas and my ultimate favourite is beluga whale :)

I like all kinds of music - like all kinds. Rap, R&B, pop, metal, rock, even tuvan throat singing :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saved a little girl in the swimming pool who slipped out of her swim belt while her parents were outside of the pool.
