Welcome to my blog, dear explorers!

If you are reading this page, you’re probably wondering who I am — so let me introduce myself a little.

I’m Betül Naz Duru, but I’ll simply call myself Naz. I’m a 19-year-old adventurous, curious, and dreamy girl.

In Fall 2024, I moved to Budapest with the Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship to study my bachelor’s degree. Right now, I’m a Computer Science Engineering student at BME (Budapest University of Technology and Economics).

Since childhood, I’ve always been a dreamer and explorer — and nothing has changed! I still love to travel, create, and discover. I always dreamed of exploring the world, and today I’m finally doing it.

But to be honest, living abroad wasn’t easy at first. I had to learn everything by myself — from living alone to navigating new cultures and people. That’s exactly why I created this blog: to share my journey and hopefully make things a little easier (and more inspiring) for others.


🌍 What can you get out of this blog?

On this blog you’ll find:

  • Hungary & Budapest Insights – local tips, student life, and my own experiences.

This is not a copy-paste travel guide. Everything here is based on what I personally tried, loved, and would recommend to a friend.

Thanks for reading!

I hope my stories inspire your own adventures. This is just the beginning, and I’d love to share more with you.
