Everything I wish I'd known before I went

Honest, practical guides and travel notes from the places I've been. I put the info together so you don't have to dig for it like I had to :)

Hi, I'm Réka

I was born and raised in Hungary and grew up hiking and scouting. University and work pulled me away from nature for a while, but I found my way back to the mountains and to travel, and I've been filling my life with them ever since. This year I quit my job to travel South America, with no end date.

I start every adventure with a lot of research, so this blog is where I share everything I've learned. It's for every type-A adventurer who likes to know exactly what they're getting into :)
