Hi Guys and Gals!

My name is Kriszti, I study Human Kinesiology and I’ve been living in Budapest for almost 3 years. It is a vibrant and diverse city with awesome sights, spots and programs that are waiting for you to see day and night! :) Whatever your preferences, I’m sure there are lots of things for you, let it be sports, cultural programs or gigs and nightlife! We also organize Erasmus get togethers. These are also fun and diverse, lots of playing, showing off cooking skills or doing sports together. I won’t spoil more, you will see for yourself!

Hope to meet you all very soon! 
 
Motivation letter

I am currently a student of the University of Physical Education in Budapest. I study Human Kinesiology and I am starting my last Bachelor’s year in September so I have been living in Budapest for 2,5 years now. I have also participated in an Erasmus exchange myself, where I had the chance to spend a semester in England. With this experience, I can state that I know how it feels to be a fresh face at a foreign environment.

I am applying for the Erasmus Mentor program this year again because I think it is a great way to meet foreign people and get to know different cultures. I really enjoyed being a mentor and helping students with whatever I could. Being new to a foreign city and university can be overwhelming at first and I would really like to help so that students can get the most out of their stay. I find the program very useful to practice English communication skills as well.

I find this program to be extremely fun all in all. It is not only exciting for the exchange students but for the mentors as well. It is a great way to express hospitality and show as much of the city, culture and life here as possible so that the students can return home with fulfilled dreams and lots of memories. From my past exchange experiences I know that friendships can be made for a lifetime during these stays. I also know how easy it is to get attached to a place, especially if people are surrounded with new friends and lots of activities. I truly think this is a great opportunity for both the newcomer and the receiving parties.

Thank you for considering my application. Looking forward to your positive response.

Yours faithfully

Being a mentor means to me...

n the last couple of months I have had the chance to experience the life of a mentor - I organised some programmes for incoming Erasmus team by myself, gave them useful information as fast as I could and finally, the most popular and maybe the most challenging task: I tried to translate from our „easy” language or vica versa. I have realised how important mentors' work is to integrate Erasmus students to a new country and help them. During their mobility, mentors also learn something great from students in return. Firstly, it was a big challange for me. I just saw different students from all around the world and I didn't know how to make them a close contact. But I started to spend my freetime with the incoming students - we went hiking together, I met them in bars in a couple of evenings- therefore I got the opportunity to get to know them better. During this time I realised that they are really great people who brought numerous sunny moments to my life. I found some friends in this group. Although they went home I still keep the contact, they became a part of my life and I'm sure that I will never forget them and the last half year. I would strongly recommend this opportunity for those who would like to get to know with people from different cultures and those who would also like to learn exciting things about these countries.

Being a mentor means to me...

Being a mentor means to me...

to get know students from all around the world, and host them at my university.
to get know Hungarian students with similar interest.
to practice foreign languages, and being international at home as well.
to translate delivery notifications by post and medical records.
to get help from a native English speaker, when I need it.
to explain and argue, that Hungary has real beaches.
to annoy foreign students why they still don't speak Hungarian.
to laugh at them, when they try to pronounce Hungarian words.
to learn a few words in a lot of languages, and be proud you know them.
to discuss what they think about Hungary, Budapest, our education system, and our university.
to talk about sport in their own countries.
to try foods from different countries, even if I'm at home.
to be jealous, and feeling nostalgic they have their Erasmus experience right now.
to keep in touch after their mobility.

Ms.Fanni Bajkor

I am writing to apply for being an Erasmus mentor, advised by a friend. I am thoroughly keen on collecting information in foreign countries and this kind of knowledge could help to navigate the other participants.
My name is Fanni Bajkor. I will begin my first year at university. I have been learning foreign languages for 13 years. First I started learning German. I have been pursuing rhythmic gymnastics since I was five and it became the significant part of my life, however now I aim at trying myself in other things.          
 I believe that I am suitable for this programme, because I am very enthusiastic, curious and purposeful. I am open-minded for other cultures, languages and the knowledge coming from these factors, and I am ready to try everything new with pleasure, not to mention that I love learning.
Last year I was a participant at the Erasmus+ program, which was a lifetime experience and I never have such a wonderful holiday.

I think after taking part in this programme, I will have a wider knowledge in many fields, including scientific, linguistic and personal areas. I completely aware of the hardships of learning in a foreign country, hence I will be your helpful partner.

Secondly, I would like to gain more experience in this profession because I am interested in knowing the university's system, program, mentality and last but not least I want to develop my ability to become better.

Finally, I consider myself very motivated because this Erasmus Program would give me opportunity to have a good career.

Mr. Máté Takács


I decided to apply to be a mentor because I think it is really important to show the non-nationals what Budapest is famous for. There is plenty more to see than the Buda castle and Heroes Square. As a local who has been living in Buda for 23 years, I know the capital well. Speaking English is not a problem as I have passed the language exam years ago. Besides this, last semester I studied in Izmir, Turkey for half a year. When I was there, I remember the first day when we did some sightseeing. I was buzzing to see the city, but instead of getting the basic facts about Izmir, which is a really beautiful city, we got lost in the bazar because they were not prepared enough. Although we had fun, I did not get the information I wanted. I just wanted to say that I know how not to perform a sightseeing. When this happened I decided that if I am going to be a mentor, I must definitely do it much better because with a performance like that, I would not step on a stage.

Having spent time in Turkey, I am not saying that I speak fluent Turkish, but I understand them and the basic sentences, which can be a benefit, because Turkish students love coming to Hungary (since they think we are both the sons of Attila). Some of the Turk students told me they really wanted to come to Hungary as a student, which would give me an opportunity to meet them again. Although at times it was a little challenging, I found the whole experience both rewarding but extremely enjoyable.

Mr. Gergely Őri




My name is Gergely Őri, I’m 22 years old. I will start the second year of my master studies at this semester. I’ve been playing waterpolo for 10 years now, but I’m interested in most of other sports too. I also play football in another University, and I often run and do work out. Besides sport I like watching series, listening to music, reading etc.. I like get to know new persons, and I’ve always been interested in other cultures. Because of this I really would like to study abroad for a while. I could imagine how much support a mentor could be, therefore I would like to help you in anything what I can. I hope you’ll have a memorable, great time while studying hear, in Budapest. Enjoy yourselfs, have a good time abroad!

Mr. Dániel Tapodi



My name is Dániel Tapodi. I'm 23 years old. I live in Budapest since i was born, that's why I know the city well. I'll start my 5th year at the University of Physical Education in September. I love doing sports, I'm good at kayak-canoing, swimming, cycling, wrestling and wall climbing. I like meeting new people and going out with friends in my free-time.

In my view it's important to get to know new people at the university which can be useful not only during university life but after graduation as well. I think Budapest is one of the most beautiful cities in the world that I'd like to show and prove to foreigners too. I'd like to improve my English, and for that this could be a great opportunity, which I'd like to take.
