About Me

My life has got fast-tracked in the last couple of years; I have been living in five cities on three continents, working as an investment banker in London, as an enthusiastic startupper in Budapest and experiencing the American college life. I am currently volunteering in Bogor, Indonesia.
Free time means sports for me. There is no better relaxation than canoeing up on the Danube, next to the Szentendre Island, when your world consists of a single boat, a paddle and you. When it’s winter time, I enjoy the slopes of Austria and France.

Interests

When I am not working, it’s not easy to locate me. I love to get lost for a weekend in Vienna, Paris or London, head to Szekszárd with a bunch of friends to enjoy a nice glass of wine, or jump onboard of a friend’s boat in Kenese. At home, when preparing dishes I am mixing my Italian taste with Hungarian roots and (usually) something good comes out of it. Oh, and the day starts with a good espresso at Déryné or My Little Melbourne.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As a volunteer, I tutored disadvantaged kids in the West Philly area and prepared Krisztián, who is diagnosed with leukemia, for the high school entrance exam. If satisfaction is a selfish thing, then I am selfish bastard who loves giving back, which provides another source of real satisfaction in my life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My understanding of different cultures, stories of my travels and the secrets of Hungarian cuisine.
