Description

Hello!
My name is Balazs! I am from Hungary, although I have been living, working and traveling around for several years. Those who know me, usually describe me as a friendly and kind person. After 25 years in Hungary, I decided to get into an adventure of travelling, making friends all over the World while learning about languages and cultures. I had the luck to get a scholarship for a university master programme, Transcultural European Outdoor Studies from which I graduated in 2014. Since then, I have been to different places mostly around Europe and the USA and met interesting and great people who I have the pleasure to call friends. Those experiences deepened my understanding of people, cultures and society which I appreciate the most. I really love doing sports (soccer, archery, kayaking, horse riding, biking, hiking, roller skating, etc.) and I love playing and listening to music.

More details about your skills

I have tried a wide variety of things. I worked with children between the age of 9 and 18 using organisational and leadership skillls. At summer camp I taught different activities such as kayaking, swimming, stand up paddle boarding, archery, rock climbing, mountain biking while as an outdoor education teacher, I took hikes with children teaching them survival skills and orienteering. While living in London and working as a "manny", I had the chance to develop a deeper understanding of working with children for a longer period of time. I also gained experience in the field of the leisure industry being a lifeguard in the US and the UK and most recently, managing a busy AirBnB in Zürich. I am computer literate, have good practical skills and comfortable with driving anywhere! I play the clarinet and the guitar which comes handy in social settings. :)

Balazs has been running the operations of the small Hostel in Zurich to my fullest satisfaction. He treated the guests with the most curtesy and made them feel very welcome.
