I grew up in Bedfordshire in England.
2. If you could be an expat anywhere in the world, where would you choose?
It would be a close call between Budapest and Bangkok. Both are unique and amazing so could I just live in Bangkok during the winter?!
3. What would you miss most if you moved away from Hungary?
The views of the city and the food.
4. Friends are in Budapest for a weekend - what must they absolutely see and do?
The castle district tourist wise and culturally, the house of terror. It is important to learn about Hungary's sad past.
5. What is your favourite food?
Nokedli. So simple but so delicious and the texture is amazing.
6. What is your favourite sport / form of exercise?
Hungarian football. Yes there is a place in the asylum waiting for me!
7. What is your favourite place in Hungary?
Budapest. Such a great city.
8. What career other than yours would you love to pursue?
I am pretty much doing my dream job.
9. What’s a job you would definitely never want?
Metro train driver. Too dark for me!
10. Where did you spend your last vacation?
Spain against my wishes! Was nothing but sand sea and sun. Not enough culture for me doing that!
11. Where do you hope to spend your next one?
Thailand
12. What was your favourite band, film, or hobby as a teen?
I spent my teenage years at raves every weekend in England as I was an up and coming DJ.
13. Apart of temptation what can’t you resist?
I have a real weakness for coffee, morning, noon and night!
14. Red wine or white?
I don't drink, can I have a root beer please?!
15. Book or movie?
I prefer reading over movies. I love learning new things and a kindle is now an essential travel item.
16. Morning person or night person?
A night owl definitely.
17. Which social issue do you feel most strongly about?
Racism. There is no place for it in society. People should not be judged by the colour of their skin.
18. Buda or Pest side?
Pest. I love the way modern life and old architecture live side by side.
19. Which achievement in your life are you most pleased about?
Making my parents proud of me.
20. What would you say is your personal motto?
Worry about the things you can't do anything about, not the ones you can!
