Hey, I’m Christine — but friends (and the international fam) call me Chrissy

Since my early twenties, I’ve been chasing something bigger than comfort zones: freedom, purpose, and a life built on passion - across borders, languages, and a whole lot of learning curves.

I started out in Hungary, fell and took the leap into leadership young - running and scaling a hairdressing chain from 3 to 21 salons. But the corporate world couldn’t hold my soul for long. I left the 9-to-5 to create a life with more meaning, starting over (again and again) in Italy, then Australia - not as a tourist, but as someone determined to build a real life abroad.

My first day of English school in Oz? I booked a meeting to start my first business. Yup - I launched before I could even confidently order a coffee in English. But that’s what happens when you’ve got fire in your gut and a vision in your head.

Over 19 years of living, learning, and building across Europe and Australia, I’ve started businesses, worked with global brands like L’Oréal, launched international distribution channels, and mentored thousands of students and expats through my agency, Dream Service International now evolved into the Live Abroad Academy.

Today, my mission is simple: to help you build a life you’re obsessed with abroad. Whether you’re chasing studies, work, or a total lifestyle reboot, I’m here to guide you through it - with the tools, mindset, and confidence to make it happen.

Because life’s too short to stay stuck. You were made for more & the world is so ready for you.
