This bracelet was given to me when I was visiting Szeged, Hungary. Szeged is the home of my favourite men’s handball club, and you can see their logo on the bracelet. I was visiting the city for three days and stayed with a Hungarian family that I had met via the Couchsurfing platform. My host was also a very big MOL-Pick Szeged fan, and he knew most of the players and even the coach. We went to see the match together and had a beer afterwards. He is the one who gave me the bracelet when I continued my travel.

I decided to stay in a Couchsurfing community because I wanted to learn how the locals are living and under which conditions. I was interested in their stories and their history and wanted to get an idea of their everyday life. I think it’s a great system to learn about each other and offer a bed to people who need a place to stay. It is very important to me that people still care for one another and help each other out.
