In 2022 I have set up my own company Black Zebra Events, specialized in large scale, complex projects. It has been a long time desire for me to create my own business and a brand which grows and eventually helps other businesses to grow too. Although I had to step out of my comfort zone - becoming an entrepreneur resulted in a positive lifestyle change for me and my family. 

2. On a scale of 1 to 10 how happy are you with your life in Hungary, and why?

Alcohol free Peroni.
