1. Where did you grow up?
I grew up in Budapest.

2. If you could be an expat anywhere in the world, where would you choose?
In the past 27 years, since I started working, we've lived in six countries - Hungary, Switzerland, UK, New Zealand, Australia and the Philippines - and I had 11 different jobs, with the same company!

I have a very supportive wife and we always felt extremely good everywhere. I think we are true world-citizens, and so I can imagine living more or less anywhere. So I'm sure we would find the best in any country, as we always did before.

3. What would you miss most if you moved away from Hungary?
I always missed the large family when we were abroad. 

4. Friends are in Budapest for a weekend - what must they absolutely see and do?
Go around the city on a hop-on, hop-off bus, look at everything and simply chose what you like the most. Budapest by night at the Danube is a must see. Try some authentic local food, and take a breakfast in one of the famous grand cafés.

5. What is your favourite food?
Halászlé - fish-soup - with as much piping hot paprika as possible.

6. What is your favourite sport / form of exercise?
Running, tennis and padel - a new sport in Hungary.

I think there is something good in every job. Nevertheless, even if I wanted to, I could not be a doctor, I cannot stand blood.

10. Where did you spend your last vacation?
Tuscany.

11. Where do you hope to spend your next one?
