My fun job.

Nothing is better than :
Being with the people I love.

If you could turn pro in another sport which would it be and why ?
Basketball. I was told I’m pretty decent at it. Considering that I’m tall enough, I think I might actually have a shot at it.

If someone walked into your room right now, what would they notice first ?
The colors everywhere. I love happy colors, so my room looks like as I the sun was always shining in it.

You’re on a date and trying to impress, where do we go ?
Uhm, good question. I’d like to be impressed on my 1st date with a guy.

You’ve got 2 weeks and a private jet, where do we go ?
A few days on an exotic beach (maybe Hawaii or Seychelle), then a few days on a jungle tour in Amazonia, then another few days on a culture tour. Honestly though, there is always so much to see in the world, two weeks would definitely be way too short.

Top 3 reasons to wake-up every morning ?
The sun is shining, it’s a new day : so many great things to accomplish.

How long does it take to get ready in the morning ?
It really depends if I’m going to practice or if I’m meeting with someone. If it’s a normal training day, it takes me about 40 minutes to get ready to leave my apartment.

How do you relax ?
I like hanging out with my friend and family in my hometown, and I love going on so-called wellness weekends with my sister, when we’re both in Hungary.

In a movie about your life, which actor/actress could play you ?
Mila Kunis.

Best shopping place ?
New York.

Obstacles are there to overcome then. Never have doubts in your capabilities and dear going after your dream.
