Hi, I’m Ben. Your Fellow Expat & Founder.

For over 15 years, Budapest has been my home. I moved here from Paris for own Business and then to a multinational company, and like many of you, I fell in love with the city’s energy, its history, and its incredible beauty.

I’ve navigated the highs and lows of expat life—from the excitement of discovering hidden ruin bars to the challenges of decoding official documents. Through my years of activity with local groups like Couchsurfing, language exchanges, and outdoor clubs, I’ve had the privilege of meeting hundreds of expats, each with their own unique story.

And I started noticing a common thread…

We Believe You Shouldn’t Just Survive in Budapest. You Should Thrive.

If you’ve ever felt lost in a sea of paperwork, struggled to find a reliable plumber, or simply wished for a friendly face who speaks your language, you’re in the right place. We built BudaBestLife for you.

The “No Heating” Incident That Started It All

A few winters ago, a friend—new to the city—had his heating break down. It was the middle of January. For days, he was stuck in the cold, calling plumbers who didn’t speak English or couldn’t see him for a week.

I realized then that for all the magic of Budapest, simple problems can become massive obstacles if you don’t have the right connections or speak the language. It shouldn’t be about who you know; it should be about having a trusted resource you can turn to, every time.

That’s when the idea for BudaBestLife was born. I wanted to create the one platform I wish I had when I first arrived—a single place built on trust, community, and genuine support.
