I haven’t been to Budapest for a while, and that wasn’t about flights or cost—it was about the political system. It just didn’t feel right to go. And now, with change, I can go back. That’s a great feeling.
But it raises a bigger question we all face as travellers: when does a place stop being somewhere you want to visit, even if you still can? It’s not always about safety. Sometimes it’s about conscience. About whether you feel welcome, or whether you’re turning a blind eye to something.
Travel isn’t just movement. It’s a choice. And sometimes, the hardest decision is waiting until it feels right again.
