Hi all,

Newbie on the Hungary forum? Don’t know how to start?

This thread is for you ;)

We invite you to introduce yourself on this topic, to share with us your expat story if you are already living in the country, or to tell us more on your expat projects in Hungary if you are planning to move there.

It will enable us to help you better but above all to wish you a warm welcome.

Welcome on board!

Hi all,

We are a married couple from England who visit Budapest regularly.  We love the water and health based lifestyle and the artistic, innovative culture.  We are looking to live part of the year in Budapest and part in the U.K or possibly to transfer our jobs across to Hungary and live there full time, though if our current Magyar lessons are anything to go by, we'll be over 70 before we can string a decent sentence together.

We are visiting Budapest this April and again in May to start our property search, currently I am spending hours trawling through Ingatlan.com as we wish to arrive prepared.  Any help or advice in our search would be much appreciated especially if you have been in our situation.

Hope to hear from somebody

I lived in Europe( Germany) for 5 years and have desired to return to possibly retire in Budapest. I have never visited( guess I should before making a decision) but have read and heard many good things. Just need some basic info,( i.e. average apartment rental prices for a I bed., best areas to live, quality of health care, p/t jobs for Americans, etc.).

Any info. would be helpful and much appreciated.

Hope to hear from someone soon....

Many thanks!!

Hey,

I'm an Australian internet/affiliate marketer and am working remotely. For the past 4 months I've been living in Saigon, Vietnam.

In less than a week I will be in Budapest. I'm not exactly sure how long I will be in Budapest for at this stage but it should be at least 1 month and up to 3 months.

While I'm here I'd like to learn Portugese/Spanish and guitar or anything else to do with music. I'm also a decent tennis player, just a bit rusty.

Looking forward to my Hungarian adventure!

Hi Emma

That will be really difficult, you can only work as an English teacher for Audi Akademie Hungaria. Or try or find a job in Budapest.

Aries25au

Hello Everyone, and all welcome to Hungary. My name is Lexi and I also have recently come to Budapest and loving it. I am originally from Australia and luckily can also speak Hungarian well. I am also looking to meeting people and doing some sight-seeing and general fun stuff. I am free most days and find seeing the sights alone to be quite boring.
Let me know if anyone would like to catch up for a coffee and chat, either in Hungrian so I can practice it more, or my native language English.

Hello. I'm Emma and I've just bought a flat in Budapest. Love the place. Starting the renovation to rent process. Hope to be in contact with folks on here.

Hello everyone. My name is David and I have lived in Szeged, on and off, for the past 3 years. Before that I lived in Poland for 2 years and New Zealand for 2 years. I am an American by birth and currently do contract work in Saudi Arabia.  I would like to live in Hungary full time so am trying to think of business ideas. Tool and equipment rental was on top of my list(so I could use the tools when they aren't rented to renovate flats) but I'm not sure about it.  I'll probably just end up being a landlord like most expats. I hope to hear from some people on this site.

Hello Everyone!
My name is Felicia

My father and i are planning on moving to Europe in fall of 2015. We strongly want to make Hungary our new home. He and i both were born in USA. He is a 57year old veteran and on social security disability for life. I am 34 year old female and i live with him and i am his legal and sole caregiver and family. He and will live together in Hungary as we do here in Florida USA. His disability is enough monthly income for both of us, there for he is permanently disabled and can not work and i will not be working either, he takes care of me.

Our monthly income in which we share a joint bank account is 2,000 usd. Part of the income is what he receives from the Federal government as payment for me being his caregiver. This will continue when we are in Europe.  But my father has a malpractice lawsuit against the hospital pending also. If that goes in our favor then our income will increase from 2000 a month usa dollars to 5000 a month. But we will know by Jan if that is going in our favor. We will not apply for our residence permit until then when we know what our monthly income will be.


We have heard so much of Hungary and the people from there we have met were very welcoming. I have had some questions so i went searching then found this forum which i am glad i did.

Brandi Szucs

Good luck in your move!

Dear Community,

I am a young traveller settled down next to my family in Budapest. I just came back from a journey of two years in India and Nepal and for the moment I am enjoying the peaceful Budapest.
I have been interested in Anthropology, following the courses of my country's Universities and then off to far away countried to experience on my own. I have been blessed in my travellings to direct myself into the work of education and consciouss development and in this moment I would love to be able to practice the mindfulness and amuzing education that I have experiences in my last two years.
In this manner, I have designed Paracosm Education, which involves english tuition in an innovative way of worldplay pedagogy.
For more information i would be greateful if you would step into this magical universe and get to know more about the work i am doing.

Thank you and greetings,
Maria Tutu
