If you’re reading this blog, you probably already know who I am, but WordPress keeps pressing me to use my words and introduce myself. (Oh oh oh now I get it. WordPress.)

I’m Krisztina.

I was born in Hungary, grew up in Southern California, moved with my family to New York, and now I live in San Francisco. Until two weeks from now that is. Then I’ll live in Nairobi.

I play ultimate frisbee and moonlight as an architectural designer. I like pasta, podfasting, and alliterations.

This is my boyfriend Bill.

He works for an amazing pay-as-you-go solar company called Angaza. Since many of their users are in East Africa, the company has an office in Nairobi. He’s a smarty pants who writes the software that makes purchasing solar powered products affordable for folks. He also bakes bread, has a great laugh, and is daaaaaaaamn fine. And he plays frisbee too!

Together we are moving to Kenya! Bill will build out the engineering team at his company’s Nairobi office in addition to his normal software engineering work and I will build physical projects around the city as the Senior PM/Innovation Manager for a tech startup. In a future post I’ll blog about my new job, maybe after I actually start working there. It was crazy that I got two job offers in Nairobi before even getting there. Networking works. Even across the globe.

I am SO excited and also anxious to get everything done before we leave. Here’s a screenshot of our Wunderlist of things to do. Wunderlist is an amazing app. Highly recommend.

Oh! We can check off vaccines! Got 5 shots last week so I’m good to go. Bill got his too. And we just got a storage unit today. Things are happening. This is happening. It’s all happening.
