When I travel, I tend not to do it with fixed plans; or better, almost no plans! Just a rough estimate of what I want to do, the first couple of nights booked, and then adventure time. While reviewing a few old photos, remembered when that kind of travel worked out just right!
I had decided to go to Hungary for the first time Budapest is an awesome city, but after a couple days my nature side was screaming. So asked in the hostel where I was staying for suggestions, and someone suggested a small village near Balaton lake, one of the biggest in Europe. So there I went... and absolutely loved it!
Tihany seems to be a summer destination, but it was almost empty when I went. And had just what I wanted: nature trails! I was able to spend a couple days wondering among beautiful forests and small lakes.
Nothing like walking surrounded by green to refill your energies. I had the added bonus of seeing a ton of wildlife!
Lizards, birds, and even deer showed up, making my hiking even more enjoyable. Especially the lizards, since they're not that easy to find in the amount I did in those trails.
The trail organization was also impeccable, with clear signs pointing the way; some of the sightseeing places even had signs explaining what exactly we were seeing.
The best way to finish a hiking trail? With beautiful sunsets!
Dusk was settling in as I was approaching the village, but it was when I was almost at the end of this lake that the colours just blew my mind.
Unplanning can sometimes bring some less good experiences, but overall, it definitely works for me!
And you... how do you travel normally?
Stay safe everyone!
