Before coming to Hungary I was like a caterpillar: trying to fly but without any success. Since the 4 months I have been working for Messzelato organisation, I feel like a butterfly. I went to Bulgaria for an international workcamp near the town of Svilengrad. Then I went with Marlene and David (2 other Messzelato volunteers) to Istanbul. On the way back to Budapest we stopped in Belgrad. With students from Szeged I discovered Transylvania. It is an ancient land of Hungary. There we took GPS weight points in order to make a 3 dimensional map.

When I came back, I stopped travelling for a while to work a little in Budapest and around it. But quickly we took our bikes to go to Kapolcs festival near the Balaton Lake. We took part in the Messzelato exhibition in one of the green yards.

In the late August, we went to Bodrogolaszi for a teambuilding on the Tisza river. With Csaba, Liz, Sanya and David, we followed this river until the Carpathians in Ukraine.

Now the time has come to work at the office of Messzelato. But we hope that fieldwork is not ended. So the butterfly is sleeping but he is going to have a fly soon.
