LIVING OVERSEAS
In October 2020 he moved to Pleasantville, NY, United States of America, having studied at the University of Bath in England between 2015 and 2019. "I was in grammar school [in Zalaegerszeg, Hungary] and wanted a US athletics scholarship after I finished my studies in Hungary. But back then, I felt it was too soon to go to America, so I decided to pursue my studies in England. I longed for America when I was a kid. Maybe I was influenced by movies or basketball video games when I was young. My childhood dream was to visit one of the NBA stadiums."
