    I can't believe it's not Buda

    Country number ten! I arrived in Hungary on Monday and after negotiating my way through rogue money exchanges, was soon checked in to my hostel near the centre. The term 'party hostel' has been banded around a lot on this trip, but I can say this is definitely true for Carpe Noctem Vitae (which I soon realised can be translated as 'Seize the Night …

    Qualifying and lots of walking

    Saturday is Qualifying day so we headed straight to the circuit to soak up the atmosphere and buy merchandise.

    After the action we left early to avoid the crowds and headed to the west bank of the Danube for great views of the Parliament. It's been a dream of mine for a while to see this great river and it felt great to finally see it. We …

    The Hipster City of Budapest

    56 photos

    I just got back from a whirlwind trip to Budapest, the beautiful capital of Hungary! I didn't know too much about it before I got there, but it is truly an amazing city.
