The Horsemen of Hortobágyi & Budapest's Hidden Market Hungary 🇭🇺

Meet the Csikos, the traditional herdsman of Hungary and explore one of Budapest's best-kept secrets with us.

We start off in Budapest, the capital of Hungary where we meet two zero-waste advocates and explore Bosnyak Ter, a sprawling suburban market hidden away on the fringes of the city. Here we discover how local produce shopping can lessen our negative impact on the environment, whilst learning how using zero waste methods of purchasing and getting to know your weekly suppliers on friendly terms can really bolster your shopping experience on a personal and global scale.

As we say goodbye to our friends Dora and Edvárd, we drive in to the city centre and set about a whirlwind tour of the sights before stopping for a drink at the famous Szimpla Kert- the most famous ruin bar in the city.

After we've exhausted the city, it's time to head to the East of the Hungary to Hortobagy National Park - a whole world apart from the bustling capital - where we meet with Adam and Dóri. Adam is a traditional horse-mounted herdsman along with his father, a profession that has run through his family for generations.

Here we learn about the work of the Mata Stud Farm, the lineage of Hungarian livestock, and the work of the csikós before joining Adam and Dóri for a traditionally-prepared meal.

The next day we experience one of the most important days in the calendar of Hortobagy- Szent Dömötör day before retreating once more to the farm for a celebration.

Join us as we delve deep into two sides of Hungarian culture and explore this beautiful country with us. We hope you enjoy and as usual, let us know what you think in the comments.

A little about us...

We’re Lucy and Ben, two photographers from Cornwall, UK who’ve been living and travelling in our self-converted LDV Convoy camper van for the best part of four years. We’ve travelled all across Europe from West to East documenting our encounters with the people we meet as well as our own travels and adventures. We embrace the ethos of slow travel and minimal living, generally spending between 2 and 8 weeks in each country, getting to know each culture, cuisine and people as though we were locals ourselves as well as hiking, wild swimming and camping as we go.

We are currently on our third 7 month long road trip, travelling through the Balkans for the second time beginning in the French Alps and venturing as far East as Turkey, visiting 13 countries in between.

Our plan was simple: visit every country in Europe in our rusty tin can of a van. So far we’ve made it to 28 countries, travelling as far West as Portugal and as far East as Ukraine, having all sorts of crazy adventures in between.

Our main motivation for our travels is to capture photos and create documentary projects, so our van is primarily a vessel for our photography. We tend to focus on topics such as nomadism, traditional ways of life, the effects of recent political events and the difficulties of living in remote rural areas as well as documenting our own adventures and lifestyle on our various social channels.

We’ve had so many memorable experiences on our travels, and our photo documentary projects have given us an intimate insight into the lives of many different people and brought us together as friends.

We've visited the folk living in one of the most remote corners of Europe in the Albanian Alps, experienced the culture and traditions of the horsemen in the Hortóbagy National Park, and experienced life with Roma gypsies in their village in Romania, and there's still so much more to explore...
