Travel News

How far did I travel this week?:

I traveled to two new areas this week. First to Pécs for my mini presentations on monsters in American folklore. Then I visited the Lake Balaton area on Saturday and explored Tihany and the surrounding areas. 

According to my watch, I walked over 33754 step or close to 14.87 miles. However, I did forget my watch for the days I was in Pécs. So if I look at my other app (unironically, it's Pokémon Go), it says I have walked around 45.3 kilometers between 10/20/2025 and 10/27/2025. That is roughly about 28 miles which feels right since I walked A LOT in Pécs. 

How far have I traveled on this journey so far?:

Well, I started in Tennessee, USA, and have travel to Budapest, Hungary. That is about 5081 miles and it creates a 6 hour time difference. That means when you wake up in Tennessee at 8am, it is 2pm for me in Hungary. This means I have to be really intentional when want to call and catch up with family and friends. They could be asleep or when they are getting off work, I am often already asleep. It is hard, but worth it when I finally get to hear my loved ones' voices. 

How did I get around this week?:

Day to day I use the bus and the metro system in Budapest. It is easy to naivgate with the help of google maps and I have a 3 month bus/metro pass that I use.
