Hi, I am Dora :) I finished my Bachelor’s degree programme at the University of Szeged in summer, 2017. I am a molecular bionics engineer; I studied Biology, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physic and Informatics in the last four years. Before I start my Master’s degree programme in Denmark, I want to take a gap year and travel to some of my favourite places in the world. My first destination is Norway, where I want to take big trips in the mountains, take many photo and just enjoy the nature. Then I want to travel to UK and to the Canary Islands, where I want to deal with my new hobby, which is rock climbing. I already had smaller trips in aboard. I was in Denmark, and I spend some weeks in Croatia, Greece and in the High Tatra. My most important goal in this year is to practise English. I am interested in other cultures and languages (I already learn Norwegien with Duolingo :D); I hope I can meet with many open minded and interesting people, and I can learn a lot from them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As everybody in this site, I also like get to know new people. I think, if I couchsurf during my gap year I can learn a lot not only about the other cultures, but travelling. I like to get to know different people with different opinion and life philosophy, because it is necessary to understand what is happening in our world.

Interests

Climbing: In the last September I started wall climbing in a climbing club at Szeged. I did it every week, minimum six hours. It became my passion, and during this summer I could rock climbing with a smaller team in the montains which are near to Budapest. If you are climber we can climb together. :D Of course, if you never climbed before, but you interest about wallclimbing, and there is a opportunity to wall climbing in you city I can teach the basics.

Embroidery: Maybe it is strange, but it is very good and calm hobby during the longer journeys. :D

Sailing and fishing: I have never tried sailing and fishing before, but these are big dreams for me :) As you see I love every water activity.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I like different of types of music, rock, pop, floks and alternative music. My favorites are Lana del Rey, Glass animals, Nirvana, Metallica, Arctic Monkeys, Hollywood Undead, Amarante and Kasabian, but this list change in every month.

Movies and books: I like the more serious art films, fantasy films and thrillers. Almost in every year I see the Banff film festival, because I like the extereme sports, particulary the rock climbind and wingsuit. Nowadays I read educational books about photography, travelling, climbing and self-improvement.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I tried skydiving a few years ago. It was not a tandem, I learned it for one year and I did it on my own. It was pretty good, but unfortunately it is a fairly expensive sport.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm going to bring with me some red pepper, which is a special hungarian spice and I can cook some Hungarian specialties like goulash or "Jókai beansoop".
As I mentioned, we can go to wall climbing, if you want, or I can teach you embroidering.
