Hello, my name is Viktória. I was born and raised in Budapest, and I still call this beautiful city my home. I’m passionate about music and I sing in a blues band, but I also work as an independent tour guide because I love sharing the rich and fascinating history of Budapest with others. Whether through music or storytelling, my goal is to connect with people and help them experience the unique spirit of this city. Hope to see you soon! 🥳
