Budapest

Spotter since 2021

About me

Experiencing a place's atmosphere for the first time, when many details feel heightened, is something I can't get tired of. Some spots trigger this feeling every time I step in. I enjoy taking people along to these little bubbles and seeing what they bring to them and take away.

I moved to Budapest for my studies and have since earned a Master’s in Cultural Diplomacy. Now, I’m diving into the world of translation and interpretation. I love learning languages, exploring new cultures, and discovering little local peculiarities.

I’m also a keen seeker of arts and live performances of all kinds, which add a distinct layer to the local culture. Budapest’s creative energy is fueled by small communities, and I feel lucky to be surrounded by inspiring people who bring the city to life.

Why Budapest
Before moving here, I hesitated between different cities, but Budapest won me over in ways I couldn’t quite explain. It’s a place where you can quickly find your people, rhythm, and subcultures, and by being in a mutually inspiring environment, one has good chances to be involved in whatever they’d like to be in.

Budapest is big enough to be diverse yet small enough to feel personal, with an ever-evolving and unique cultural scene. There’s always a lot going on. You just have to know where to look, as the best parts often blend into the picture.

Rengeteg RomKafé

Slow-cooked hot chocolate

Rengeteg is a cozy dreamworld with very old, strange furniture, tons of teddy bears, and calm French music in the background — be warned it may take a while!
