Soha nem ment\u00fcnk k\u00fclf\u00f6ldre, \u00e9s igaz\u00e1n nem is jutott eszembe, hogy tudn\u00e9k.<\/p>

Az egyetemen arr\u00f3l \u00e1lmodtam, hogy zar\u00e1ndoklatot teszek, amit \u00fagy h\u00edvnak: Szent Jakab-\u00fat<\/strong> \u00e1ltal\u00e1nos iskolai legjobb bar\u00e1tommal. 22 \u00e9vesek voltunk, amikor belev\u00e1gtunk. \u0150 csak 3 h\u00e9tre tudott j\u00f6nni, \u00edgy az els\u0151 3 hetet egyed\u00fcl voltam k\u00e9nytelen v\u00e9gigs\u00e9t\u00e1lni, amit nagyon neh\u00e9znek tal\u00e1ltam.

Akkoriban nem volt k\u00f6zvetlen j\u00e1rat Magyarorsz\u00e1gr\u00f3l, \u00e9s nem ismertem senkit, aki j\u00e1rt volna az orsz\u00e1gban (ez\u00e9rt is v\u00e1lasztottam!). Csod\u00e1latos \u00e9lm\u00e9ny volt, rengeteg orsz\u00e1gb\u00f3l szereztem bar\u00e1tokat, \u00e9s v\u00e9g\u00fcl megl\u00e1togattam Marokk\u00f3<\/strong> \u00e9s M\u00e1lta<\/strong> Szabadid\u0151mben.

That relationship didn’t work out, but I fell in love with the city, and started to work in London as a professional nanny<\/strong>.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Years passed by, I spent some of my holidays in Magyarorsz\u00e1g<\/strong>, but I visited other places too, and I started to travel in an adventurous<\/strong> way.<\/p>

I hitchhiked<\/strong> along the coast of Ireland<\/strong> \u00e9s Scotland<\/strong>, I visited my uncle in Norway<\/strong>, and then in Sweden<\/strong>, and combined these trips with hitchhiking and wild camping<\/strong>.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

After one of the families I worked for moved to Ghana<\/strong>, I visited them, and that was the first time I experienced extreme culture shock<\/strong>. I travelled alone around the country but I was glad I met a German girl, I felt better travelling with another person.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

I kept visiting other European countries, Luxembourg<\/strong>, North Macedonia<\/strong>, Bosnia<\/strong>, Poland<\/strong>, mostly to visit friends, but also to travel solo. I didn’t really have time to go further…<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

…Until one day in September the two families I was working for told me that I would have two weeks off in July!<\/p>

I was on google straight away searching for places to hike in July. That’s when I stumbled upon a picture of Kyrgyzstan<\/strong>. Mmmm… What? Kyrgyzstan? I didn’t even know that it was possible to travel there.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

I spent the most amazing two weeks in Kyrgyzstan<\/strong>, I met lots of people who had been travelling for months and years, I was shocked. How could it be possible?<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

And, low and behold, one year later, when my contract ended, I set off on a journey with a one-way ticket to Kyrgyzstan<\/strong>. I didn’t know which way I wanted to go from there, I left it to fate. The only thing I knew is that I tried to not fly<\/strong> at all.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

I ended up hitchhiking from Kazakhstan<\/strong> to Iran<\/strong> via Uzbekistan<\/strong> \u00e9s Turkmenistan<\/strong>, spent 3 months Couchsurfing in Iran<\/strong>, didn’t get the visa for Pakiszt\u00e1n<\/strong> so I took a boat to the UAE<\/strong>, hitchhiked 3 weeks in Oman<\/strong>, flew to Sri Lanka <\/strong>(there were no boats), and walked and wild camped there for 3 weeks.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

I volunteered 1.5 months in India<\/strong>, hiked in the mountains of Nepal<\/strong>, and that’s when I learned that Pakiszt\u00e1n<\/strong> had introduced the E-visa<\/strong>. I found Pakiszt\u00e1n<\/strong> more intriguing than South East Asia, so I went there, and ended up spending 3 months in the country! I fell in love, with the country and with my now-husband<\/strong>.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The rest is history! I kept on travelling in SE Asia<\/strong>, I bought a bicycle<\/strong> in Thailand<\/strong> and had great plans with it, but the pandemic came, and only got to Cambodia<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I flew back to Europe, spent lockdown<\/strong> with my family in Magyarorsz\u00e1g<\/strong>.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

In the autumn I circumcycled Hungary<\/strong> following the border, that was my first long cycling adventure.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

In the spring I got very sick<\/strong> (long covid), and me and my now-husband, then-boyfriend seeing each other in the summer became a dream and a goal. We hadn’t seen each other for 1.5 years<\/strong>.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

My cardiologist put me on a stationary bike<\/strong> workout training, I was so weak, she didn’t want to let me go to Pakiszt\u00e1n<\/strong>.<\/p>

Finally I got somewhat better, and I could go. Still, the 2.5 days<\/strong> that it took me to get there didn’t help my health.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I stayed 3 months<\/strong> in Pakistan, lived together with my then-boyfriend and his family, we went through a lot of arguments and misunderstandings as two people coming from different cultures, but we worked everything out and came out stronger.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

In 2022 we got married<\/strong> in a small ceremony in my husband’s village. We were hoping to move to Europe<\/strong>, but for financial reasons we couldn’t.<\/p>

This is when we get to the present times, I live in Pakistan<\/strong> most of the year, and work in England<\/strong> in the winter.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

We have opened a guesthouse<\/strong><\/a> and we will be organising group tours<\/strong><\/a> around the country.<\/p>

I travel with my husband, with friends, and I still love travelling solo<\/strong>: I hitchhiked<\/strong> from Iran<\/strong> to Magyarorsz\u00e1g<\/strong> the last time I visited Europe.<\/p>

I have a lot of stories to share on this page, and hopefully they will inspire you – if you’re in need of inspiration.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
