Experience Budapest and Hungary the way locals do. Work from one of the most beautiful locations in the world in the day and be a part of the extensive nightlife in the night. Pubs, bars, museums, palaces and the countryside, Hungary has it all, and you get to see it and live it the way locals do, in the most authentic way.
Hello! I'm Shaheen, and I work as an illustrator and a freelance writer. I'm a curious person by nature and I want to visit every part and aspect of the place I'm in - be it art, culture, food, music, nature - I'm down to explore everything! I want people to join me in my curiosity and exploration of all that this world has to offer :)
We'll be staying in hostels - private rooms or sharing a dorm would be based on your preference, but private rooms might come with an additional cost from the allocated budget. I'm open to suggestions for Airbnbs as well if everyone is comfortable with it, but I feel like a hostel is a friendlier and more engaging environment that promotes inclusivity and interaction with others. I can't wait to meet you! Feel free to reach out to me, if you have any questions.
