The real journey behind the systems I teach

Built through real homes, real work, and real-world hosting — not theory.

I built my short-term rental businesses from scratch, learning through hands-on experience and real challenges. Today, I teach practical systems that help new hosts feel confident, organised, and in control from day one.

My story

My story

My story

From small-town Hungary to building real businesses in the UK

I moved to the UK 15 years ago from a small town in south-western Hungary — young, ambitious, and with absolutely no safety net (still young, just with better spreadsheets now).

Like many expats, I started where most people do: hotels, coffee shops, cleaning jobs. Long hours. No shortcuts.

Over time, I found my feet — and my second family — in the laundry and dry-cleaning industry, where I spent more than 12 years learning the operational side of running real businesses: systems, logistics, customer service, and the behind-the-scenes work most people never see.

That experience became the foundation for everything I do today in short-term rentals and property.

My experiences

Turning point

When everything changed

Then 2024 happened. A fire destroyed the main factory we relied on. One moment everything felt stable — the next, everything changed. It was one of those life moments that forces clarity very fast. We rebuilt. But more importantly, it taught me two lessons I’ll carry for life: Nothing meaningful is built alone — the team around you is everything. And as the old saying goes, never put all your eggs in one basket. That was the moment my interest in property turned into a mission.

Turning houses into guest-ready homes

Today, the part I love most is taking tired, neglected houses and turning them into beautiful, profitable short-term homes that guests genuinely enjoy staying in. Creating something unique from nothing? That will never stop exciting me. Laundry never fully left my life either — and that’s a good thing. Linen, cleanliness, presentation… I know these things like the back of my hand. And in Airbnb? They matter more than anything. Trust me.

What actually makes a great stay

When I first started with Airbnbs, I asked myself one simple question: What actually makes a great stay? After travelling to over 60 countries and almost every continent (Antarctica… I’m coming for you), I had a pretty good advantage. I knew exactly what seasoned travellers notice — comfort, flow, cleanliness, and the little details most hosts miss. That guest perspective shapes everything I do.

How I work

Simple systems that work in real life

From there, I did what I always do — I researched. A lot. Suppliers. Systems. Automation. Setup processes. Pricing. Turnovers. Guest communication. Scaling. And yes… AI too. Everything I teach is built around simplicity, repeatability, and real-world use. No fluff. No overwhelm. Just systems you can actually run — even if you’re busy, new, or doing this alongside life. And here’s the honest truth: I’m still learning. Because we all are.
