Hi everybody!

My name is Emilia Eckert and I'm a student at Budapest Business School at the Faculty of Commerce, Catering and Tourism. I'm 22 years old and coming from a small village not so far from Pecs.

The castle of Siklos

The beautiful Cathedral of Pécs

I was attending a German faculty class in high school, however now I'm more interested in English. I would like to do my Master's degree abroad, either in the United States or in any European Country. During my studies at the University I would like to apply for the Erasmus scholarship, to get out the most of my years here.

I'm interested in any kind of things concerning the economy. Furthermore, I like travelling and visiting interesting and beautiful places. I had the opportunity to visit Paris, Firenze, Pisa, Vienna, Brno, and some smaller towns in Croatia and Ukraine. I have also spent nearly three months in the United States, looking for universities. Besides travelling I like cooking and baking since the age of 13. I also like doing sports, like cycling and strengthening, and I've also played Karate for 2 years in high school. Moreover I like watching great movies, and reading books (my favourite is Jane Eyre).

My family has an orchard and a vineyard as well in the Siklos-Villany wine area in southern Hungary, and we are producing wine and palinka, which is a special Hungarian liquor.

That's about me in a nutshell and I'm looking forward to getting to know you and your University!
