Daniel
We (Janet and Daniel) are in our mid 50's. Janet is from Ireland Daniel is Hungarian. Janet teaches English, Daniel is also a teacher, at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts. We are fluent in English and Hungarian, all right in German and get by in Romanian, Italian, French and Slovakian. We have 5 children some of them still live at home. We usually travel with our two youngest, David (14) and Fiona (19). We are mostly interested in vising smaller European towns and countryside, especially mountains.
