I’ve been working as an outdoor guide since 2018, but my love for nature began long before that. Growing up, I spent countless days exploring the Hungarian countryside where my grandparents lived — discovering forests, rivers, and trails that sparked a lifelong passion for the outdoors. Today, I share that passion by guiding hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, and wild camping tours around Budapest and throughout Hungary. Over the years, I’ve led groups of all sizes, from small private adventures to team events with up to 100 participants. In addition to guiding, I’m also an enthusiastic trail runner who enjoys discovering new routes and landscapes on foot. Whether it’s a quiet paddle on a river, a challenging mountain bike ride, or a night under the stars, I aim to help others connect with nature, challenge themselves, and experience the freedom and beauty of the wild.
