    Xpat Interview: Oliver Lewis, Executive Director, Mental Disability Advocacy Center

    As a child, Oliver spent time hanging around people with intellectual disabilities in Bristol, England. His mother, a Budapest-born doctor, worked in a “hospital” where people with intellectual disabilities lived.

About xpatloop

Hungary's Expat Community Portal, Since 2000

"We are all one", yet there are barriers to unity such as nationality, language, culture, tradition, and so on. Xpatloop seeks to facilitate a better understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of life in Hungary for expats and locals alike. As a portal we share news, views & information - from a wide range of sources - to enhance cooperation between people, companies and organisations operating in expat related circles.
