By Salina Hong, Skål International Taipei.

I am very happy to share my great experiences with the President of Skål International Budapest Adrienne Tille and the Skålleagues in Budapest.

I have been a member of Skål International Taipei for many years and I am a well-known writer of 64 books on the market. I am regularly invited by many countries to write a book for the country on travel, cuisine, art, music, culture, special destinations...

I visited Hungary from 3 October to 8 November 2024 to prepare my 65th book ‘Amazing Hungary’.

I had never met President Adrienne before this trip, but she helped me to the fullest. She organised a tea party with the Skålleagues in Budapest to introduce me and offered members the opportunity to be featured in my new book. I also attended the October General Assembly of Skål International Budapest to learn from them and network while Adrienne was in Izmir, Turkey, to attend the Skål International World Congress, although she was able to meet us online.

Not only that, but he also helped me to arrange many important meetings and interviews with people, general managers of hotels, special restaurants, coffee shops, etc.

When I encountered difficulties during the trip, he always helped me and comforted my heart. Thanks to her help, my future book about Hungary will be more complete and interesting. She even thought that other Skål International clubs in other countries may be able to put these ideas into practice.

She is so passionate and sincere that she offers her help and professionalism with enthusiasm. She is the perfect example of the spirit of Skål International.

I did not want to miss the opportunity to tell this story to our Skål International family.

Best wishes to all of you.
