Hi everyone,

If love can move mountains, it also makes people move abroad, in countries such as Hungary.
Following your life partner in a country with different customs and rules is an act of absolute trust and may require a period of adaptation.
This is why we would like to have your opinion to answer these questions and thus help future expats who are preparing to follow the same track by moving in Hungary.

What preparation do you have, or do you advise, to do before your departure in order to make the best of this experience?

What challenges have you faced? In what areas (finding a job, socialization, well-being)? How did you overcome them?

What is the outcome of this experience for you? Would you do it again if the opportunity arose?

Has your relationship with your beloved changed since your expatriation in Hungary? Do you have any advice on this subject?

If your expatriation involved children, how did you manage to maintain a family balance in the face of this life change?

Thanks for your contribution!

Hm....
Since my wife is a dual Swiss/Hungarian citizen, and first moved to Switzerland to be with her, not sure this is a Hungarian topic for me. Especially since it was I who more wanted to leave Switzerland and move to Hungary,,,,,

For me, I was an online worker/nomad 20 years ago, before it became "in vogue". So could move anywhere. And being an introvert, don't care too much about socializing.

In other words, one's personal experiences may not match for others. One must simply... well... give it a go. Take the leap. If it works. Great. If not. Oh,well. Such is life.., Be flexible. Learn from it. Acknowledge and move on.

I "followed" my better half here 26 years ago but I didn't know her then.
