An off-center selfie of us in front of the Liberty Bridge in Budapest!

My new favorite thing about being in Europe is that I can just decide to go to another country for a day.

Early last week, some friends and I decided we’d like to take a day trip to Budapest, Hungary on Saturday. Budapest is only two hours away from Vienna by bus, and the round-trip tickets only cost 18€ ($21).

The trip was fantastic. Not only did we get to see the sights in a beautiful city, but one of my friends I made at IKI last month, Orsi, lives there and was able to spend the day with us!
