About Me

ABOUT ME

An easygoing person, I believe that simplicity is making the journey of this life with just baggage enough. I like socializing and meet people from every corner of the world.

A truly extroverted, open-minded person who loves connecting with people and making new friends! Travelling is definitely a huge passion of mine!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

1)EXPERIENCE A NEW CULTURE FROM INSIDE

Most travel guides pride themselves on authenticity: If you want to do as the locals do, then you have to go to eat at this place, and shop at this store. Yet nothing’s really more authentic than an actual local taking you around Budapest to all of his favorite places, telling you things about the city that only someone from that city would know. Whereas most people only get to dip a toe into another culture, Couchsurfing allows me to dive in headfirst. I may not walk away knowing all the details of locals' history and society, but I’ll come a way with a sense of what it’s like to walk around in the shoes of a local, even if just for a few days.

2) I WANT TO BREAK OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE

Usually when I travel, I travel with friends and family. I eat with them, sleep in the same hostel/hotel rooms with them, ride the train with them, and go to bars with them. It's always fun to travel with people that I'm close with but I know it’s not the greatest way to fully experience another culture. Couchsurfing is undoubtedly a perfect choice for me to learn to grow out of my comfort zone and accept NEW things with open heart. I believe that life begins at the end of my comfort zone :)
