‘Hello Balázs, Meli speaking. I’m calling you to tell you that I decided to rent your apartment.’ ‘Sorry Meli, too late. Somebody has just rented it, it’s not available anymore.’ For a second while the information travel from my ear to the brain I am speechless, then I hang it up with a high-pitched scream. […]
(Listen to the music while reading blog post.) Blog block. I’m siting in front of my laptop watching the perfectly empty screen with more and more frustration. My best friends the letters are not willing to start their journey on the blank canvas, my words don’t come as they usually do. Not even my best […]
(and I managed to find a nice SEO-friendly title again…) Because to be on holiday somewhere and to live at the same place have nothing in common. Oh god, was it pretty evident for everybody but me?! (Listen to the music while reading blog post.) In the last three months since I moved back home […]
(Listen to the music while reading blog post.) I was about to write a post on gadgets and how they steal our present. I already planned what I was going to write about, I was full of indignant anger for the virtual world, the mobile phones and other addictive thingies, and I definitely wanted to […]
(Listen to the music while reading blog post. And sorry, Peti, I can almost hear you whining that I’ve chosen a song from the band Margaret Island for this post.) You might remember my journey from last summer when I did camping on Lofoten islands, Norway. Finally I didn’t write in the blog about one […]
(Listen to the music while reading blog post. This time big thanks to Laci Plattner for the music recommendation. Come to Madeira!) Ocean on my left-hand side, mountain on the right-hand side. I’m sitting on a chair warmed up by sunshine, the scent on my clothes is sun-perfume, just like on my hair. There are […]
(Listen to the music while reading blog post.) A couple of years ago in a gallery in London a photo literally took my breath away. On the picture a fisherman of Burma (yes, I know that the country’s official name is Myanmar, calling it Burma is a form of rebellion) was seen. Sunset scene, beautiful […]
(Listen to the music while reading blog post. This time big thanks to Peti Daróczi-Végh for recommending this song. The destination you should visit: Montenegro.) In the last Mind the Map post I mentioned how important is honesty to the readers and followers, that in exchange of their attention we owe them honest articles. In […]
(Listen to the music while reading blog post.) What do you think when looking at this picture? What kind of emotions does it evoke in you? Do you wish to go to this place? And what do you think about this one? How do you feel? Do you feel the urge to go to this […]
(Listen to the music while reading blog post.) Black magic and the rain I have an everything but magical relationship with rain. Last year I spent one month on Madeira island, it started raining thirty times a day. Then I spent two months on the Azores that is soooo green because of… yes, the rain. […]
(This time you’ll find the music at the end of the post. This is a Hungarian song, sorry guys, no translation. It’s about the importance of the moment and encourages us to start living before it’s too late.) This is chapter 5. You can read the former posts here: vol.1., vol.2., vol.3., vol.4.. Morning message […]
(Listen to the music while reading blog post.) ‘Meli, what places do you have on your bucket list?’ ‘I don’t have bucket list.’ ‘WTF?!’ Bucket list. This expression has conquered the world since the Jack Nicholson – Morgan Freeman movie in 2007. It’s sad to see how its meaning has been transformed, how much we […]
(Listen to the music while reading blog post. This time this amazing song from the Into the wild soundtrack was Gergő Varenke’s idea, big thanks! The destination I recommend for you in return: the globe. You seem to feel home everywhere on it.) Mind the Map blog is about to go on holiday in July. […]
(Listen to music while reading blog post.) The winglet almost hits the concrete of the runway in the crazy wind, I definitely need some clean underwear and they are kissing. This is one of the most exciting romance I have ever seen in my life. And I am going to tell you the story. I […]
(Listen to music while reading blog post.) I don’t really know why I’ve chosen this kizomba version of the soundtrack ‘Intouchables’ to accompany my post, somehow it is always the music that founds the proper post for itself. This movie is probably my all-time favourite because of its great humour, the human factor, because of […]
