Travels

One of the things that defines my career is travel because Tatiana and I travel all over the world to different opera houses and ballet companies. Even though we are incredibly lucky to go to different countries and experience their cultures and cuisine, that doesn’t mean that we don’t miss our loved ones and our homes. On the contrary, travel makes us feel more thankful for having a home to go back to during our time off and it makes us appreciate the little things that we wouldn’t have appreciated otherwise.

 

Tatiana likes to say that I’m the overdramatic and emotional one when it comes to travel because of my need to find the perfect pörkölt and paprika. Given that I’m Hungarian, a good paprika and pörkölt are what reminds me most of my country and of the happy memories that I made with relatives and friends. It’s the type of comfort food that makes every journey feel like a trip through memory lane.

 

Even though I got too nostalgic, I always enjoy eating new food, listening to new music, and getting to know the people of the places that I visit. The people are the true treasure of the journey and my way of giving back to them is by composing and playing music to show my deep love and gratitude for them.
