M4 Metro Station

April 6th 2015
We are approaching our time to move on and again leave our newly adopted home behind. It is always an exciting time getting ready to get on the road again, but also a bit of a sad time as it seems we have just gotten used to being here. For most of the last 4 years, this has been how our life has been. We have spent a month or two in many great places around the globe. After our first coup ... read more

In July of 2011, we made the decision to leave our comfortable jobs in Northern California to see the world. We weren’t sure where we were going to go or how long we would be gone, but we wanted an adventure and we knew we could find it if we looked carefully enough. We would travel slowly, staying in cities and towns for longer periods than most tourists have time for. Hopefully, it would give us an opportunity to observe local life in a unique way. In June of 2019, we completed our 8th consecutive year of travel. We visited 53 countries on 4 continents and travelled for 2873 straight da... full info

Metro
The Budapest metro was quite interesting. The M1 line was built in 1896 and was the second one in the world and first in Europe. The M4 is about 1 year old. Most of these pictures are from the M4. Each station is unique and really interesting. I didn't write about it, but we actually spent a whole day riding the metro and photographing stations of the M4!

Spending a few months in a nice city and then continuing to travel
I am looking forward to do this by myself, maybe after retirement. I think you learn much more about a place if you live in an appartment and going to the bakery or supermarket every day instead of staying at hotels all the time and eventually eating there. I think most western countries allow westerners to stay for 3 months or so. Those people whocan do that while keeping their jobs or work remotely are really lucky. I had the opportunity to do international IT projects and stay more than a month in Moscow, Seoul, Mallorca, Milan, Lake Geneva and the Netherlands. I am looking forward to do that again. By the way: I also visited Budapest and Hungary and my blog is easily to find.
