Finish the Sentence: Hungary

« Return to Finish the Sentence    « Return to Hungary

My last stop in Europe during my round the world trip, my stay in Hungary was primarily limited to Budapest, but as usual I met fellow travelers from all over the world. These are all the groovy people I met during my ten days in the country. In Hungarian, groovy would be spelt “zsuszsuczu” or something like that. Non-Hungarians have country codes.

  • Shamans and Guinea Pigs in Ecuador

    It’s folly to spend just one week in a country as diverse as Ecuador, but what the hell! Shamans and guinea pigs, iguanas, bus parties, 300-year old haciendas, volcanic craters - I don’t get to the Galapagos, but between Otavalo, Quito and Gauyaquil, there’s plenty to keep me busy.

  • Science Fiction in Star City

    Returning to Russia, I get an exclusive glimpse into the reality of modern space travel, visiting the Cosmonaut Training Centre in Star City, poking my head into real life rocket shipx. From the Moscow Metro to the streets of St Petersburg, the Great Bear presents it challenges, but there is truly nowhere else on earth quite like it.

Or the extreme gonzo action of canyon swinging, bungy jumping and skydiving in Queenstown? From mansions to car eating parrots, join me on a road trip on the South Island, where we always aim for possums.
