Renata Jakubek

I’m Renata from Hungary, currently living and working in Budapest as a teacher of Economics and Finances. I’ve lived in Lille, France and Valencia, Spain and now I can say quite surely that I don’t feel entirely Hungarian. I mean I cannot deny that I grew up in Hungary, I have certain habits which come with this package, I love the food, the music, the literature. But I also found that I can be really far from being a Hungarian in terms of way of thinking and some critical values. After understanding the Spanish way of thinking, the magic happened to me and I could fully enjoy my stay. That’s when I became glocalized. Local people are more keen on showing you their culture if they see that you are not only touching the surface but you really want to dive deeper and find out what their lives is about. And that’s why I’m travelling: to broaden my way of thinking, to learn to live in a different way.
