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.

  • Flying Doctors and the Migration of the Wildebeest

    This week in East Africa, I discover two sides to a coin. The luxury, beauty and exotic wildlife of the ultimate safari, complete with butlers, five-star tents, and the migration of the wildebeest. In Nairobi, a different story, as I take to the air with the Flying Doctors, participating in a medical evacuation, and seeing the human cost of violence. This is Africa, and there is nowhere else like it.

  • Heat, Dust and Dirt Bikes in Egypt

    The traffic, chaos and 3000 years of bureaucracy take their toll, but I manage to Belly Dance over the Nile anyway. After clocking in at the pyramids, it’s off to the Sinai to rock the desert by ATV, dirt bike and dune buggy. Egypt has stayed much the same since my last visit 16 years ago. I haven’t.
