About Me

www.mind-to-travel.com İ am huge fan of travelling mainly alone, therefore İ am more open to meet the locals, meet new people, understand their culture. As a student of psychology İ believe travelling is a way to expand our views, understand other point of views without a need to agree; accepting each others differences in a friendly manner and learning from it. Every ecounter teach us something new.

Solo travel experience

I loved the various thermal baths (the glitzy ones and those used by locals), walking around the castle area, going to the Great Market Hall, the fairy light tram (I only visit Budapest during Xmas time), the almost vintage metro system, classical music street performers, affordability, walking up Gellert Hill during a misty morning, and a visit to the opera.

Solo travel experience

The city is really pretty. I went to the most beautiful café in the world, saw the most beautiful Parliament building, visited the biggest baths in Europe, and walked across a bridge that connects Buda and Pest. The only tricky part was the language barrier since not many people spoke English. But overall, I really liked the city.

Solo travel experience

I went solo in March this year to Budapest and loved it. I just kept walking around everywhere to take my mind off that I was there alone. I felt so safe there I didn’t feel unsafe once even when walking back to the hotel at 11 pm.
