Mostly traveling solo, sometimes even hosting :O

Do you ever think back about the "good old days"? Those are happening now! Currently in the heyday of my travels, which will inevitably come to an end sometime in the future.

I learn, I teach, I move, I explore, I tell, I read, I disobey, I eat, I write nonsense. Sometimes I even hike. I like bucket showers.

Everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Language section is incomplete, I'm a linguist. I travel for food.
I like to travel light, small backpack is the way to go. Hitchhiking is fun.

I'm more active on BeWelcome, feel free to check out my profile & reviews there as well: https://www.bewelcome.org/members/maleijie182

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It might sound a bit cliche, but the best experiences I've had so far while traveling were shared with locals. Meals, backgammon matches, emptying bottles of questionable moonshine, bumpy bike rides, arranging marriages in exchange for caju wine.

My profile displays Ming-Kush, Kyrgyzstan as location because I created my profile there. That's a cool place by the way, I have a few stories about that. I'm actually from Hungary.
I DON'T LIVE IN KYRGYZSTAN.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking in a tractor (Romania), in a police car (South Africa) and in an ambulance (Pakistan). Eating 20 khinkali. Doing 30 pushups. Visiting San Marino. Climbing a little mountain wearing Vans during the rain.

Teach, Learn, Share

We're 8 billion people, you can learn something from anyone. What makes the difference is how much you can learn and how much you're willing to listen.

I'm into sports & physical activity in general but I'm not particularly good at any kind of sport. I'm 6'8"/203cm but still, don't assume that I'm good at basketball. You can still challenge me though!

What I Can Share with Hosts

An interesting mix of stories and bad jokes. Help with yard work!
