AND… if you’ve still got time at the end of the trip – make sure to come back here and let me know how your trip went in Budapest!! I absolutely LOVE this city (always have, always will) and all I want is to inspire others to experience it as much as I did!
Obviously, I had seven months, so if at the end of this series you think ah bugger it I’d rather not do anything and just see what happens… be my guest! Everyone I know gets a little something different from each place they visit so please use this series as a guide.
Lots of love, from myself AND Budapest…
