"Many people have ancestors from Central Europe. Maybe you do, as well! Come discover this unique part of the world. I love showing travelers the spirit of these countries through history, culture, and lifestyle. Born in Hungary, I know this region well, and am sure you'll enjoy each moment.

"I decided to become a Tour Director in order to see the world-and lose weight. Unfortunately, the latter is impossible in Slovenia and Croatia, because the food is incredible. Still, it was worth a try! Since those early years I've discovered that the reality of travel is better than I ever imagined. Every day is different, and there is always something new to see and learn."

"When I am on tour, I enjoy sharing my experience and knowledge of culture, history, geography, art and gastronomy. I always enjoy the diversity of the people who decide to come and travel. It is impressive to see people from very different backgrounds, willing to learn about the new cities, countries and regions. And, of course, not only learning, but also enjoying each other's company, having fun together and forming new friendships which will often last for a lifetime. I am very glad that I chose to become a Tour Director."
