When I was eight, my parents gave me a world map for Christmas. I remember staring at it for hours, tracing imaginary routes with my fingers, wondering what life looked like in all those far-off places. That map didn’t just hang on my wall but planted a question in me that never really went away: What’s out there?
Since then, I’ve never felt fully settled in one place. I’ve always had the urge to move, to explore, to get lost just enough to find something new in the world.. and in myself. I’m comfortable in the chaos: solo travel, unfamiliar streets, new languages, unexpected friendships and strange meals.
It’s a lifestyle made possible by a career in marketing and strategy: one that lets me stay curious, build things that matter, and still catch the next flight. The kid with the dream didn’t grow out of it, but fulfilled it.
My professional journey began in 2016, just after finishing university, when I joined Libri–Bookline, Hungary’s largest book retailer. It was more than just a first job. As a lifelong reader, working with books felt natural. It’s where I learned the fundamentals of marketing, business, customer experience, and how operations run at scale.
As my career evolved, I moved into the world of digital. I had the opportunity to help lead meaningful change at Amplifon and later at MSD, where I focused on initiatives that truly matter: improving how people access healthcare and how companies connect with their audiences.
Over nearly a decade, I’ve built a foundation in digital strategy, omnichannel operations, and cross-functional leadership. What started as a love for stories – in books or in humanity – has grown into a career that bridges purpose, performance, and curiosity.
I started freelancing in 2017, alongside my full-time roles, and I’ve continued ever since. What began with small projects quickly became a space where I could explore, experiment, and build freely, whether it’s shaping strategies, launching campaigns, or helping brands find their voice.
Freelancing isn’t just a creative outlet, it’s a way to stay sharp. It keeps my hard skills fresh, from hands-on digital execution to strategic thinking. But just as importantly, it hones my soft skills. Working closely with clients from different industries and backgrounds has taught me how to listen better, communicate clearly, and navigate complex dynamics with empathy and precision.
Even today, it remains an essential part of how I grow as a marketer, a businessman and as a human.
I started solo traveling in 2021, right after the pandemic and the end of a relationship. I felt stuck. Life had paused, and I knew I needed to shake things up. So I packed a bag and booked a one-way ticket, not entirely sure what I was looking for, just that I had to move. Cheers to the people of Istanbul for the greatest first experience.
Since then, I’ve traveled solo across nearly every continent, visiting 36 countries and collecting stories I never expected: backpacking across Europe one summer, surviving India without a single case of food poisoning, being held at gunpoint in Lebanon, roaming the Serengeti, hiking to Machu Picchu, standing on the top of the Empire State Building and wandering through Asia’s beautiful landscapes and bustling cities..
Each trip taught me something about the world, about people, and most importantly, about myself.
Solo travel has become more than an escape. It’s how I reset, reconnect, and remind myself what it means to be fully alive.
I’ve never been drawn to the spotlight. You won’t find me making influencer travel videos or chasing likes on social media. I believe in stories that linger, not scroll by and I’d rather encourage someone to read, whether it’s a blog post or my future book, than go viral.
Operating from the background also gives me peace. It frees me to create and explore without pressure. To share what matters, not what trends. I have no interest in performative altruism or acting like some first-world savior with a camera in hand. I’m not here for attention. I’m here to live with intention.

At the same time, sports have been a constant anchor in my life. I’ve been a lifelong Manchester United fan, following the highs and lows, the legends and the new faces. Football isn’t just a game for me; it’s a source of connection and belonging, a way to be part of something bigger no matter where I am in the world. Whether I’m groundhopping across stadiums around the world, or kicking a ball in a remote village with the locals, those white lines cross the same way from Rio to Tokyo on every pitch. Even if we don’t speak the same language, football speaks for itself: a universal bond that needs no translation.
Alongside that, running has become my moving meditation. There’s something about hitting the pavement, feeling my breath steady, and letting my mind wander that brings me clarity and peace. It’s where I process ideas, unwind from the day, and reconnect with myself.
Boxing, on the other hand, is about discipline and focus. It teaches me resilience, sharpens my reflexes, and demands respect for both my limits and my potential.
Together, these sports keep me balanced physically, mentally, and emotionally, whether I’m navigating the chaos of a bustling city or the quiet solitude of nature far from civilization.
And then there’s food, a passion that quietly runs alongside everything else I do. I’m endlessly curious about flavors, ingredients, and cooking traditions. I love tasting new dishes, trying unfamiliar spices, and discovering how food tells the story of a place and its people. Whether it’s grabbing street food from a vendor with just a folding table or sitting down in a small, tucked-away restaurant, food connects me to culture in a way nothing else quite does. It grounds me in the moment and opens doors to genuine human connection, one bite at a time.
