My name is Alexander Stemp, I am originally from York/ England. I was a landscape gardener in Cambridge before moving to Budapest. As I now live with Eszter my wife and 3 young children. Due to much time spent here as well as much knowledge of the local scene now accumulated, I sensed I have bypassed the main tourist scene and live the intermete life of a local person, and write magazine articles based on light cultural topics within this region.
