I love this time of year, the chill in the air reminds me of my winters spent in Hungary. I was born in Gyor, Hungary which is on the eastern side of Hungary; this is where I call home. We generally travel home every three years and it’s always been in the winter. This is why this time of the year reminds me of a place I call home.

The architecture inspires me to take photos over and over again, sometimes I feel like a tourist in my own country. It doesn’t bother me because the photos hold timeless memories for me. Walking the cobbled-stone city streets all bundled up with a cup of hot herbed-infused red wine, a traditional Hungarian winter-time beverage, keeps me warm despite the bitter wind chill coming from the Danube river, which passes straight through the city. I can feel it right now as I’m typing this, I miss home so much.

There are not enough words in a day for me to explain how much I miss being back home, especially since we always travel in the winter. I hope to venture back again when I graduate. Since I’m living out of the house and pretty much on my own, I have to come up with the finances to travel back and have all my bills paid because when we go we don’t just go for a week, or two weeks, we go from three or four. I recommend everyone going on their JBIP to soak in as much as they can about wherever you go. It could be a life changing experience, it always is for me.
