I’m Alpár Kató, the founder of Daily News Hungary and Helló Magyar. I love exploring the world through travel, gastronomy, and history, and I’m always on the lookout for fascinating stories to share. I often represent our site at diplomatic events in Budapest and on press trips around the globe. I live just outside Budapest with my wife and our three wonderful children. We also have two adopted dogs, they make our lives complete. Follow me on social media platforms to see what's happening with me:
