About Us

Most of us grew up in the USA and Western Europe but have since been lured to Hungary by the prospects of school, work, travel or a beautiful girl named Zsuzsa (sorry Paul). Our friends back home think we live in a post-communist concrete jungle where goulash is served at every meal and men sport overgrown handlebar moustaches. Our friends in Hungary think we live in the Paris of the East, a cosmopolitan EU country with the world’s best wines and stunning natural scenery.

As with most things, the truth is somewhere in the middle. This blog is our attempt to strip away the misconceptions and the exaggerations we’ve all heard about Hungary and take it down to the naked truth. If you’re planning a visit to Hungary we hope you find the rants and raves in this blog useful, and please don’t hesitate to Contact Us if we can offer additional tips or if you’d like to share your experiences.
