Currently pursuing a double degree at Corvinus University of Budapest and KEDGE Business School, he is driven by a strong desire to solve real-world problems, and this is why he decided to start this project called Biteway with two university friends to help expats, international students, and tourists.

When he is not studying, you can find him playing piano, training for his next run or playing competitive chess.

At the moment he is conducting a Quick 2-Min Survey: Grocery Shopping Abroad available here.
Nathan invites you to share your feedback through this survey to help improve the expat experience in Budapest.


1. What is your link with Hungary?

I am Franco-Hungarian. I was born in 2007 in Budapest. On my father’s side, my whole family is Hungarian, and we originally come from the town of Mór. I lived in Hungary for nine years before we moved to France. In 2025, I decided to return to Budapest to study at Corvinus University of Budapest because I missed Hungary and Budapest.

2. Have you ever been an expatriate / lived elsewhere?

I have always lived between the two countries: near Lyon in France and in Hungary near Budapest.

3. What surprises you most about Hungary?

What always surprises me, and also makes me proud, is how much Hungarians have contributed to science, technology, sports, and culture.

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

If they could do only one thing in Budapest, it would be to watch the sunset from Szabadság Bridge.

5. What is your favourite Hungarian food?

Definitely kakaós csiga. My father used to bring some every Saturday morning for breakfast when we lived in Hungary. Now I’m the one who brings them back whenever I visit my family in France.

6. What is never missing from your refrigerator?

In France, nothing! But once I moved back to Budapest, I had difficulties finding certain familiar everyday foods, which unfortunately led to a less healthy diet. However, after talking and conducting a survey with Erasmus students and other expats, I realized I wasn’t the only one facing this issue. This frustration actually sparked the idea for the project I am working on now.

7. Tell us more about this project you are working on.

It is called Biteway. Together with my friends Richi (developer) and David (partnerships), we started it as part of the Danube Cup 2026, a startup competition among universities along the Danube. It’s a mobile app designed to help users locate stores, find local alternatives, compare prices, and translate labels. Our goal is to bridge the culinary gap and make settling in Budapest much easier for expats, students, and travelers.

To help us, we’ve created a short 2-minute questionnaire that will allow us to better understand how this app can best support you and meet your needs. If you have a moment and are affected by this issue, we would greatly appreciate it if you could complete it."

8. What is the biggest challenge you are facing with Biteway right now?

Our biggest challenge right now is getting access to store data to know exactly what products they sell and ensuring that this information is perfectly accurate. To solve this and develop our MVP, we are actively looking for partners and local grocery stores to collaborate with us to collect data and gain visibility.

9. What is your favourite Hungarian word?

It would be two words: fényév távolság. It always reminds me of the musical Padlás and the music written by Gábor Presser.

10. What other studies than yours would you love to pursue?

I would love to pursue studies in political science. It was not easy to choose between that and Business Administration. I hope one day to study that field.

11. What's a job you would definitely never want?

Jobs where there is no human interaction and that do not solve any problems.

12. Where did you spend your last vacation?

With my family in France.

13. Where do you hope to spend your next holiday?

In Csopak, next to Lake Balaton. We used to go there with my family. There are a lot of cultural programs and concerts. The landscape is just restful.

14. Apart from temptation, what can't you resist?

Starting another game of chess after losing one, because I don’t want to leave it on a loss.

15. What was your favourite band, film, or hobby as a teen?

I am about to turn 19, so I still consider myself a teenager. I could watch The Green Mile anytime, and I could listen to Coldplay on repeat as well.

16. Books or films?

Definitely films. From the black-and-white movies of Charlie Chaplin to recent blockbusters, I love how films allow us to travel through different worlds. That being said, I sometimes feel that modern films are becoming less deep and increasingly fast-paced.

17. Morning person or night person?

Morning person. My mother always tells me, “The world belongs to those who wake up early.” Running at 6 a.m. in the empty streets, it feels like the city belongs to you.

18. Which social issue do you feel most strongly about?

Homelessness, because we have the resources to address this problem and help people who are living on the streets.

19. Buda or Pest?

Buda, 100%. Apart from being hilly and picturesque, it is also from there that you have the nicest view over Budapest and the Parliament.

20. What would you say is your personal motto?

My favorite one: We are always more loved and supported than we think.
