Is Budapest expensive? Come wander the city with me, ride the metro, take a boat ride, try some food, see the cost of a hostel and the prices for it all.
Want to donate to the channel? You can buy me a shawarma! 😂 But really, I just found out this website "buy me a coffee" exists and created an account, because, well, why not? I really just appreciate your support by watching my videos and I'm not asking you to donate, but, if you feel like it, now there's a place you can. Donations will probably just go to me making more street food videos. Here's the link: www.buymeacoffee.com/gventures
Welcome to the channel! My name's Gisselle, I'm a budget traveler and have been to 6 out of the 7 continents, visiting 20+ countries, living for some time in Sydney, Australia as well as in Saigon, Vietnam. I am currently based in Cairo, Egypt and exploring all this beautiful country has to offer, while visiting nearby countries as well. I am a lover of language and a culturally curious lady just making my way through life one day at a time. I live to learn, I love to travel and explore, try new things and meet interesting people anywhere and everywhere in the world. Come along with me as I solo travel the globe and discover fascinating new places, try delicious local food, meet lovely people, and share a moment in time on this beautiful planet, our Earth.

Hungary is a stunning country, but being in Egypt makes you feel welcomed everywhere, and everyone seems to be part of your family. However, when walking in Budapest, it feels like you are lonely.

@Gventures Месяц назад

It's definitely more quiet in Budapest than in Cairo. The weather is cooler, which is nice 😅 I don't feel lonely in Budapest, but of course it is a different country with different lifestyle and vibes. I am not going to say one country is better than the other, they are just different. Obviously, I prefer Egypt, which is why I live in Egypt and not Hungary

14:20 The real goulash is a soup made from beef. What they brought you was just the base, from which the soup is made with potatoes, nokedli, carrots, etc. by adding 'Gulyásleves' soup (goulash + soup) is soup and the best food in the world. Greetings from Budapest. I'm glad you came here!

Helpful video, Gisselle, covering several useful aspects of your visit to Budapest. I was there on a brief visit many years ago when I did a coach tour of "Historic European Cities". I remember being impressed by the beautiful architecture, and I also remember visiting the iconic Heroes' Square which is a major attraction in the city. Thank you for giving us your perspective of one of the great cities of Europe. At the same time, I could tell that you were itching to get back to your beloved Egypt, and I look forward to your next offering from there, which I know will be interesting! 😀William

It is nice to get away from the oppressive heat of the Egyptian summer. There is an annual airshow held in Budapest and the airplanes fly low and slow over the Danube River right by that amazing building-not certain if it is Parliament Building or Castle. I believe that airshow is in the summer, don’t remember. It is amazing to me the comfort you have with these hostels. I had to sleep in barracks when in the military service but the thought to sleeping in a room with strangers while travelling, I would be afraid to do that. Enjoy your travels and keep safe.

Hey Gisselle, amazing posts of life in the real world as usual!! Totally unrelated random question tho but any idea the best way to get to Aswan from Cairo on a budget especially if only have 36hrs from when arrive to when leave Cairo, lol??

@Gventures Месяц назад

Thanks Eddie! Ah, I think you already know what my answer will be 😅 Best way from Cairo to Aswan, with that kind of time frame?! A flight. Even then, you will be pushing it. Why do you want to rush down to Aswan? There is no other way to get there with the time you have, a train takes like 19 hours, a bus even longer because you have to take local buses part of the way, there isn't a bus like Go Bus that gets you all the way there. Yeah, no such thing as budget when it comes to tight time schedules, sorry 😕

@eddielecornu4003 Месяц назад

@@Gventures Thank-you Gisselle, hmm yeah I know dilemma!! Not that tight an itinerary overall for my trip but just didn't fancy Cairo apart from a day doing all the pyramids thingy, lol! I've travelled loads places and think like yourself prefer to experience the local way so not daunted by a long travel day. Was hoping to go by 1st class Spanish train but don't think will get there in time to book tickets, agh! Online/group chat not that helpful, even my hostel staying in ((Madina) not too helpful, bless em. Not to worry sure will wing it somehow, ha ha!! Guess you're outa Budapest now, was there few yrs ago, loved it. Hope managed visit the ruin bars or even the 'musical fountains'. Thanks for taking the time to reply, much appreciated and looking forward to watching your next post......

@Gventures Месяц назад

@@eddielecornu4003 Well, there's plenty of local things to do in Cairo too, but if big cities isn't your thing, then yeah you will hate it 😂Long days of travel is certainly a part of budget traveling ahaha, I think the longest bus ride I've been on was 24 hours from the capital of Laos to the capital of Vietnam during Tet. I don't know anything about the Spanish bus, I usually just take the cheapest option with GoBus, and the bus does take a long time to get down there, definitely not within the time frame you were mentioning. Budapest was great! My friend also has a YT channel and made a video about the ruin bars a few years back so yeah, I know about them, it's a gorgeous city with lots of history, I just didn't research that much about it!

unfortunately 2900 HUF for the goulash is considered cheap here at the moment. Crazy high prices, crazy low wages. For eg. the european "home depot" called OBI has like a canteen in it, and there food costs 2200 HUF which is not a lot cheaper. But u can find gulyas soup for 8-9000 HUF easy in turist trap places so ypu were good at the restaurant :)

@Gventures 15 дней назад

Thank you for that information. I had heard inflation was on the rise in Hungary, and I suppose that is evident by the many places I visited. Sucks. But still delicious food and a beautiful city! And cheaper than many other places in Europe.

@Bosnia_Magnetfishing 26 дней назад

I know in history, the Mongol empire has conqured most of Europe from 1100-1500s. They were almost the size of the British empire, and Genghis Khan and his sons conqured China, and leveled that country, went around the wall. And they went past through the Middle East and Turkey. Thats why, half of the world has dna from Genghis Khan, he was ruthless. Then from there the Tatar tribes, were in Turkey and settled in parts of Europe, until the Ottoman empire came arose too. My country Bosnia, has a lot of history. From the Roman empire, to Ottoman empire, WW1 started in Bosnia, WW2, and the recent Yugoslavia civil war the past 30 years, and The Mongol Empire didin't make it in Bosnia, the Mideavil Knights repelled the attack. But the Mongols made it far in Hungary and Austria, parts of Russia and Ukraine were all captured. All by horseback. Europe has a lot of intresting history. Also, Bosnia has a history of the Illryan tribe, and in Albiania. These times were around, when ancinet Greece was around. And Egypt and Greeks shared history, and culture with one another, thousands of years ago.

@Gventures 26 дней назад

Yep. This information is able to be found in books, I've read some of it. I'm not from Bosnia though, with no current plans on visiting, so I haven't researched it and don't currently have a huge interest in doing so

As long as you able and willing to behave like a normal human being, the police is not likely to bother you about drinking in public. The law is there to deal with those who don't, and they are going to be caught and fined!

Well, if you live there then you know and can read between the lines to navigate the rules. I'm just a visitor who sees a sign saying "Drinking is illegal and this is the fine" and don't feel like paying 150,000 so I just didn't drink outside. Also asked a local if I could or if it was illegal, they simply said "it's illegal" and didn't elaborate the way you just have.
