About the author.
I’m Anikó, a dual Canadian-Hungarian citizen living in Hungary and navigating the same systems most people struggle with: visas, healthcare, banking, property, and daily life administration.
I’ve built a life here, started businesses, helped family members relocate, and learned how things work once official guidance runs out and reality takes over. I split my time between Budapest and western Hungary, which means I see both sides of everyday life here.
HOW TO HUNGARY began as a practical guide based on lived experience. It has since grown into a continuously updated platform offering clear guides, short videos, expert interviews, and real-world explanations for people who want information they can actually use.
What I share is grounded in daily life and checked with trusted lawyers, healthcare professionals, relocation experts, and locals I rely on myself. When I collaborate with experts, it’s transparent and always on my terms. Just current, practical information designed to save you time, money, and stress.
