Bori goes to Holland 400 days in Budapest 2018.01.01 15:28:08
By now it's been a bit more than a year that I have moved back to my hometown, Budapest. It's actually 400 days today, to be exact, which doesn't really mean anything but I thought it's cool and round enough of a number to mention. Good timing for a blog post! :) I've been meaning to write about…..

Bori goes to Holland F*** international travel. Go explore your own country! 2017.10.26 16:40:49
It's been 11 months now that I moved home to Budapest from the Netherlands. Nearing the 1-year mark I am planning to do a post on the whole process and learnings of the whole moving back thing, but before doing that I did want to write about another, somewhat related topic. In these past months, I…..

Your post made me think about why I like travelling abroad, and whether I prefer that to exploring places in Hungary. I'm more of a nature guy, perhaps this is the reason my opinion is somewhat different.

I grew up in an area of the country where there are no hills or mountains. It's totally plain. Now I live in a city where mass transportation brings me to actual hiking starting points in less than an hour. It's magic! Even after ten years living in Budapest, I'm still excited about this idea. (As a bonus, I gradually transform into a tourist in my own hometown - in a good way, that is.)

On the other hand, I started travelling to distant countries only in the last two years and it still feels like a new thing for me. What I love about these trips is the incredible variance of nature (huge waterfalls, strange animals, snow and desert only a few kilometers from each other etc.) which you won't find in Hungary. If possible, I choose Airbnb accomodations - it's a good way to learn how people live and think in the country I visit. As for the question of city sightseeing, I agree that a couple of hours or even days are not enough to explore a city. I usually expect to check out a small number of preselected attractions, and if I'm lucky I'll have some good memories of the _vibe_.

So what about the question of inland vs. international travel? For me they kind of complement each other. The former is a neverending admiration to the little wonders surrounding me (there's an entire island in the middle of the city, dedicated to runners, swimmers and casual walkers - wut?), while the latter makes me remember that this planet is full of places I need to see/hear/feel myself to believe that they are real. Whoops, it starts to sound cheesy, sorry. :D

The point is, with that said, I think your opinion totally makes sense and I like to believe that these two attitudes can coexist.
