After returning home I had to earn some money so I went to work on a cruise ship to the Caribbean and then to Alaska. When I have earned enough money to go to University I returned back to Hungary and I had a thought that before starting University I would learn another language. Therefore I travelled to Spain. I was living there for 1 year, attending Spanish classes in a small school in Málaga. In the last few months I was also working as a secretary in the school. After 1 year I succeeded in passing proficiency level so I could return to Hungary.:-)

Now I was ready for starting a University and after a year of uncertainty and a little disorientation for hesitating a bit what to study I got admitted to the Budapest Business School (Faculty of International Management and Business / International Communication Course). After finishing University I started working in Budapest for a multinational company. I had a good job included promotions but I was always missing the countryside so I returned to my hometown and started working in Füzesabony and in the surroundings. I had various jobs since then and right now I am working in Eger, at a company where I am responsible both for the exports and for the controlling part of the small company.

In 2008 I had a very severe car accident while I was driving to work. I was in a hurry as usual (at that time I also had several foster dogs at my place, included puppies who required care also before I left home) so my car slipped in a curve while it was raining and it fell over to its side. My left femur got broken into more than 30 pieces with an open wound in the knee and my right wrist got broken into at least 15 pieces. I have had 5 operations in 2 years due to medical incompetence after my very first surgery and due to an infection after my third surgery.

I have never recovered completely but despite of all the difficulties I am very happy to be able to recover to the extent of being able to continue the work I started rescuing dogs and cats. I am able to drive again which is indispensable for doing animal rescuing. I believe that my car accident was a sign I can read signs very well :-)
