I’ve faced so many dead ends in my life at home that it doesn’t come as a surprise I’ve made what feels like a life-changing decision. Life-changing because I’ve put almost everything onto one page and dedicated the last few years to reaching a single, ultimate goal. That goal led me here: I’m leaving my country again. But this time it feels different, this time it’s final, not just a temporary escape for a few months. I’m jumping out of my skin with excitement, though there’s sadness too in leaving my loved ones behind. I’m not burning everything, but I know decisions like this are never easy. They are, however, always rewarding. At first everything feels strange, until we begin to experience our new surroundings and unexpected wonders start appearing. Stepping outside the bubble is one of the greatest gifts in life, and I know the coming period will bring countless moments of delight. What would be the purpose of life if not to pursue the things you long for? Regret only comes from not trying. I want to create daily, to learn as much as possible about photography, to meet new people and cultures, and to discover the endless variety of this world. It feels crazy to say it out loud, but very soon I will be based in Bangkok, ten thousand kilometers away from Hungary. Right now I’m in the middle of preparing for my five-year DTV visa and making sure I arrive as sharp as possible. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I would one day live in Southeast Asia. There’s even a curious story behind it. My mother once told me that during my time in the hospital she went to see a fortune-teller. My brother and his girlfriend were seriously considering moving to Barcelona, but the fortune-teller said with certainty they wouldn’t leave. Instead, it would be me who left Hungary, though at that time no one had the slightest clue of my future plans. I don’t know whether to believe such things, but my gut has been telling me for a long time that I must try. And here we are. Every day draws me closer. Looking back, if someone had told me back when I moved to Austria that this was waiting ahead, I would have signed any paper without hesitation. The present and the future can feel intimidating but that’s the beauty of it. They invite us to step over our boundaries and without trying it will never come.

And if you’re curious about where this path will take me, I’d love for you to follow along with my journey and see where it leads.
