Hey, my name is Ben and I’m from Hungary, living in the UK for over 6 years now.

Like many other foreigners, I came to the UK to learn English. I did this through a volunteer programme and worked locally, in Bristol, near The Downs, looking after young adults with autism and a range of learning difficulties and challenging behaviour.

In 2015 I joined the NHS as an IT professional and fulfilled various roles in multiple organisations up until the end of last year.

I am one of the lucky few whose job is their passion, as I currently work as a web developer for Hargreaves Lansdown.

I love to spend my free time outdoors, bouldering, indulging in culinary experiences, going to gigs or just having a takeaway and playing Mario Kart with my friends 😊.
