I am a travel writer for www.wandererwrites.com.
I also write for other publications, like Matador Network, GoNomad, DesertUSA and others. And of course, here, on HubPages.
A native Hungarian, I grew up in a small town in Transylvania. By the time I was in high school I realized that what I wanted to do with my life was travel and write.
It took me thirty years to get there, and a move across the Atlantic, but now I am doing both.
Hope you enjoy some of my articles.
I know your time is precious and I appreciate you spending some of it on my stories. Thank you.
