Barbara N BE438 Hungary
Area Manager Commercial Operations
Sziasztok! I am probably one of the very few Hungarian people living and working in Bangalore. I was born in Hungary, raised in Austria and Hungary, and lived all across Europe: Germany, France and most recently in Holland with my Dutch husband. He approached me a year ago with the idea of moving to India. In Bangalore, I initially followed my career path as a controller at one of the leading courier companies, but realized that my passion lay somewhere else. I speak Hungarian, German, Dutch, English and un peu de francais.
Organizing things, partying, meeting lots of different people, sports and traveling all boost up my energy level. What I love about India is that it manages to surprise you every single day! I hope you will find many friends through the BEC to share those surprises with.
