Need A Charge On The Iron Curtain Trail? Try Öttömos

-

Csiga The Bike Home Crossing into Öttömös

      So, you're in Hungary, Southern Hungary, your legs are tired, your feet ache, your knees are predicting rain and you hear that dreadful notification that your phone is at five percent.  WHAT DO YOU DO?!?!?!?!  

     Calm down and make your way towards Öttömös.  Spell it with me Ö-t-t-ö-m-ö-s.  There, though chairs are non-existent, you can rest on/at the massive tables and ding, ding, ding, charge your device (s) via the numerous outlets.

     Öttömös is in the middle of nowhere and I didn't see any food shops until I was near Mórahalom.  However, with a charged device, you can conquer the world via GPS.

     If you're really adventurous, you may be able to park for a night and/or camp here (in an emergency or during low season).

     It's basic, it's there, it's on the bicycle trail.  Use it.

     Love y'all

I Remember The Times: Travelling Through The Balkans As A #woc

It is what it is. Being a woman of color travelling alone through The Balkans, through Europe, is not nearly what I thought it would be, wanted it to be. Nature here is more than breathtaking, though at times the wind blowing really does take your breath away. Nature here is powerful, humbling, nurturing. I have learned so much about myself, how I am, why I think the way I do, my fears, my intense thoughts, my ever-changing disdain for willful ignorance amongst individuals. It's true, it's sad, it's reality. People are ignorant, we all are, I am. What makes their ignorance rage-inducing is the fact that many of them love this ignorance, love to bask in the warmth and comfortability of their prolonged and willful ignorance. But their vibe is also giving "accept whatever you can get." Some months ago I had a conversation with someone who stated that I may have to get with someone that is short and fat. Is it possible that the person meant specificall...

Being Alone While Craving The Energy of Home

It wasn't him I was drawn to; it was his energy (yes, there's a difference). He came across as a go-getter, someone who goes after what they want, who does something on their own, when everything and everyone around him is marching to the same monotonous beat. I crave that, someone like me, someone bold, someone kind, someone I won't need to explain myself to before an introduction is even had, someone who isn't swayed by a pretty face or skirt. BUT, definitely not someone who couldn't be totally upfront with me. He could have said something after I left him the first voice message; he didn't. I don't respect what he did; but, I recognize that he is a kind hustler and that is a beautiful thing. Thank you Universe. I was listening to a sistah talk about the word "Universe." She stated that we each have our own "verse" and the point is to unify with others and make beautiful music, a UNI-verse. I long for this, I need it, I ...

I had to y'all. I couldn't take it anymore, I just straight out said to him, 'it seems like racism to me.' I mean, it really does. He, like another police officer, compared the "migrant problem" in Hungary to the issue with the Mexican/U.S. border. Hmmmm, there is a border there, yes. Individuals do enter illegally there and there us massive hate shown towards the Mexican population because of this. Yes. That still doesn't make it right or take the sting and stench of racism and prejudice from the actions of those in power in Hungary. It's wrong, on both accounts, from both countries. Yes, we in The States are wrong for the way we treat many individuals. I have a very unique perspective in all of this. I am from The States, yes; but, I am also still considered a minority there. In Hungary, the racism is more overt, directly in your face, everyday. In both the U.S. and Hungary, I am seen as "The other." At this point in...
