About Me

CURRENT MISSION

On a trip in Latin America starting in Guatemala all the way down to… who knows. (Depends on a budget). 😄

ABOUT ME

I was born in a small city on the Hungarian border. I worked in an advertising agency for almost one year, but with getting a master's degree I decided to leave this job and go to the United States for a summer job..

Since I've gotten back from the US, I was on a volunteer program in Macedonia, where we were experimenting with an old photo technique. Then I did a short road trip to Albania, spent some time in Kyjev, Portugal, Spain, and went to Indonesia for one month. I also volunteered in the international documentary film festival in Slovakia.

After living for a year in Slovakia, I decided to start teaching english and volunteer in Peru. While being in Peru, the pandemic hit the world, I felt in love with the country and stayed for almost two years. I volunteered on hostels where I learned how to make the famous Pisco sour drink.

My Peruvian adventure ended when I got a work visa to Canada, so I traveled to Vancouver and stayed there for a year. From there, I made my way to Mexico and traveled from Guadalajara all the way down to Cancun and hitchhiked from Spain to France.

After, I spend some time in Czechia, 9 guys and I bought a bus and did a legendary roadtrip from Seattle to LA.
