However, she particularly enjoyed the more informal alcohol industry, which was full of events and offered more flexible working conditions, as well as greater opportunities.

During the COVID period, she had to transition from the spirit industry, and she began working towards her current goal of becoming a freelancer. Now, she focuses on social media, photography, and she recently launched a wedding planning business.

Zita also manages other companies' sites (for example, a wine producer) and she also has a relatively new social platform where she provides photography tips for other content creators and everyday users.

The name of her wedding planning business is Celebrate Love, which helps engaged couples enjoy the organizing process. Her team assists not only in organizing their big day but also with consultations and finding reliable service providers if they prefer to plan their wedding themselves.

1. Where did you grow up?

I grew up in a small town in Somogy Country, called Tab.

2. If you could be an expat anywhere in the world, where would you choose?

I would choose Barcelona or Sydney. During my travels, I found these two cities to be the closest to where I can imagine living. In both places, the people are relaxed, the city is well-organized and livable, and not to mention, the beaches in both cities are amazing! It's just too bad that Sydney is very far away.

3. What would you miss most if you moved away from Hungary?

Absolutely my family, but I definitely would miss Budapest as well.

4. Friends are in Budapest for a weekend - what must they absolutely see and do?

I would spend one day in the city center, showing them around the Deák Ferenc Square area, and then visit the Buda Castle. In the evening, we could experience the vibrant nightlife. On another day, I would take them on a bike ride to Szentendre, stopping at Római Part for a lemonade or spritzer along the way. If there's still time, I would also take them to a thermal bath, especially if they visit during the winter.

5. What is your favourite food?

Traditional Greek Gyros

6. What is your favourite sport / form of exercise?

I like cycling and hiking, especially nordic walking.

Siófok is my favorite place because I was born here, I got married here, and I have a lot of wonderful summer memories from the 'Capital of Lake Balaton.'

I love my profession but sometimes I think about how I would enjoy being a teacher, a tour guide, a flight attendant or working in politics.

10. Where did you spend your last vacation?

I was in Thailand in February. It was a bucket list destination for me.

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

Pest, but I currently live on both sides.

19. Which achievement in your life are you most pleased about?

I worked for more than 10 years as a marketing manager at the largest global companies, I was constantly learning new things and never got comfortable with routine work.
