About Me

I'm literally a perpetual motion-machine: making someone sit on a chair for hours long is what I call: torture.

I was born and raised in Budapest, in the beautiful capital of Hungary and studied Literature and History of Art at uni. After a short bypass I managed to find my way back to my original profession, so for over a year and a half now I've been working as a freealncer tour guide, guiding stag parties and walking sight seeing tours as well. And I love what I do.

I have two great aims in life: 1. to improve and 2. to travel. This two derives from each other: you can not travel and get into interraction with other people and different cultures without showing (self-)improvement and also, you are unable to improve yourself without meeting new things and perspectives.

So far I've "only" lived in Hungary but I would love to try how is living somewhere else.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet interesting people. Also while travelling, I like to meet locals because doesn't matter how many guidebooks and Wiki articles you read, there is no better source of knowledge than someone who knows that particular place you visit from everyday experience.

Unfortunately I can not host anyone currently as I am sharing a flat with others. But I am ready to meet up and show you around in the city :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I broke out from the circle of corporate jobs and started to do what I really enjoy :) Amazing things have started to happen to me since then.

Teach, Learn, Share

- I would like to learn some words and phrases in your language :) In return I can teach you some Hungarian, which is quite fun as it is said to be the 3rd hardest language to learn after Chinese and Thai :)
- I am always ready to try any new sports. Skateboardning and surfing is what I am really interested in and have never tried. I can teach you some pole acrobatics.
