Jackie Das

Jackie was born in the UK but moved to the US in 1999 with her husband and kids where she lived for 19 years. Feeling jaded after 32 years in the Corporate world, she realized that with her kids all grown up and no 'other half' to 'report' to that she could do something she always wanted to do - live in a City of Culture for a year. She chose Budapest because of its wonderful cultural opportunities, affordability and the ease of travel to other places in Hungary and the rest of Europe. Jackie works as a freelance consultant and she is also writing a historical novel which is partly based in Budapest.
