    Xpat Interview 2: Linda Kondor, Artfully Living in the Hungarian Countryside

    1. What’s been happening at work and at home since your first Xpat Interview?  I left my museum-mania life in Budapest, retired and moved to beautiful Kapolcs Village in the Arts Valley in Northern Balaton.  Was initially busy renovating and restoring an old ruin on a vineyard estate.  Sometimes questioning my sanity, wearing wellies and knee deep in compost!

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.
