    Dávid Rodriguez, Managing Director, Vip Holding Europe Kft.

    I was born in Budapest in 1979, an in the very same year my parents decided to go in Perú, so I was raised there till the age of 9. My family came back in Budapest in 1988. Till 1997 I lived here, and then I went to UK near London to learn the language. After the course I came back, spent a few months in Budapest and soon left to Italy. I lived in Italy (Marche region) till 2012. Now it's almost 4 years since I've returned to Budapest.

About xpatloop

"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.
