HOW TO HUNGARY Insider

I moved to Hungary in 2017 and spent my first year getting things wrong in public. The Insider is what I've figured out since, sent to your inbox once a month. Real, honest, and now and then the story of how I got it wrong so you don't have to.

I'm Anikó Woods. Not a relocation agency, not a faceless brand. A Canadian-Hungarian who moved here, stayed, and built a life. Downtown Budapest half the week, a winehouse in the Balaton Highlands the other half, and a Biewer Terrier called Súmi who has strong opinions about both. I run HOW TO HUNGARY across Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and this newsletter, and I host live events in Budapest every month. If you've stopped me on the street, hello.

Why the Newsletter Exists
I don't run ads. I don't take sponsored placements. If something's in the Insider, it's because I use it, I've tested it, or someone I trust swears by it. That's the whole deal.

What You’ll Receive
✔️ Real stories from people living here, not the brochure version
✔️ Honest talk on residency, banking, healthcare, and the things that trip everyone up
✔️ My own mistakes, and what they cost me, so they cost you less
✔️ Resources and people I use and trust
✔️ The small changes to daily life here that nobody announces

This is one person's experience of living in Hungary, not legal, financial, or medical advice. For your own situation, talk to a professional. I can point you to good ones.
