I’m achievement-oriented in most areas of life, so I’m not averse to projects, hobbies and travel that require a lot of investment of effort or organisation. I enjoy it when I can successfully plan an event or climb a mountain peak. I believe that pushing my limits is part of life and a basic requirement for continuous improvement.
Design is an integral part of my life. Outside of work, I enjoy structuring, designing and graphic design projects as a hobby. I have had several opportunities to do this for various promotions (mainly related to the family business) and for other side projects.
Among others, this website and the graphics on it were created thanks to this interest, since all the designing and graphical works are self-made.
Since I was a child I have tried to be actively involved in the family business (Fordan Dance Studio). During this time, I have gained insight into management and logistics, but my main activity has been event organization and management. I have been co-director of several Hungarian Acrobatic Rock’n’Roll Championships – typically events with thousands of participants and the events won the “Acrobatic Rock’n’Roll Dance Competition of the Year” Award in Hungary several times.

One of my favourite pastimes is working with gastronomy and viticulture. For a short time I had the honour to work and manage a vineyard. During this time, I have learned a lot about wine culture – but I am still keen to expand my knowledge of the topic in my spare time.
Furthermore, in collaboration with a yoga instructor, we have launched the first ‘wine-yoga courses’ in the city that, in addition to meditation and exercises, also focus on the philosophy of wine culture. Our initiative has been a great success city-wide.
