Julianna Nagy is from Hungary, she is an accountant by profession, runs her own bookkeeping practice, is married, a mum of one almost teen, lives with her family in Sydney and loves the life Downunder.

When she is not working or navigating daily life, you can find her whipping up a delicious dessert but more often than not, running with her friends and exploring the beautiful trails of her new home far away from home.

She loves travelling and to be outdoors just as much as to snuggle up and read a good book.

She and her family are keen to adopt the Australian culture and habits while staying true to their own at the same time. She is grateful for the opportunities they’ve got from their new country and they are proud Australians, eager to contribute to their local community.

In this episode we chat to Julianna about migrating to her new island home, Australia from Hungary in 2013. We discuss the challenges and differences of our culture and how her and her family navigated that time, and how finding connection in the running community was the catalyst to finding community and a place to belong, along with a new found passion and love for the Australian landscape and challenging one-self to adventures to fuel life’s lessons.

This is a beautiful story of embracing life’s adventures and getting out of your comfort zone and creating the life you want.
