About Us – Meet the Travelers Behind Wandering Linda
Hi there — we’re Linda and Laci, a couple of passionate travelers from Budapest, Hungary, and the creators of Wandering Linda, your resource for inspiring and practical travel guides.
We’ve been exploring the world together for over 20 years, from the national parks of the United States to the fjords of Norway, from the outback of Australia to the alpine trails of the Dolomites. What started as a small blog for friends and family has grown into something much more — a space where we share our real-world travel experiences and help others create unforgettable adventures.
We have a deep love for nature, hiking, and authentic experiences off the beaten path. In recent years, we’ve been traveling across Europe in our tiny camper van, uncovering hidden gems and enjoying the freedom of slow, independent travel. We believe that the best journeys aren’t about ticking off countries — they’re about taking your time, connecting with places, and truly living each moment.
Our Favorite destinations
Our favorite destinations? That’s easy — Norway and the Dolomites will always have a special place in our hearts. We’re drawn to the wild beauty of the mountains, the serenity of lakes, and those quiet trails that lead to unforgettable views. Apart from hiking, we love skiing and we make time for it every year during the winter. It is very important for us because we met in a skiing paradise in northern Italy almost 25 years ago.
We also travelled a lot outside Europe, we also loved America’s national parks and Australia’s deserted, endless beaches.
about Linda
I am Linda, the writer and editor of this blog. I feel incredibly lucky to have turned my passion into a career – I’ve been working full-time as a tour operator in Hungary for over four years, helping others plan unique and meaningful trips. Whether it’s creating personalised itineraries or giving advice on destinations, I love sharing what we’ve learned along the way. Of course I’m the one who plans our trips step by step, but we always come up with the destinations together. Sometimes I go on a trip with my friends or family for a few days, but for our longer trips, my husband and I always go alone.
My love of travel came during my university days, when I travelled alone to the other side of the world, to New Zealand. It was a defining experience for me and I would love to go back there again with Laci.
about Laci
Hi, I’m Laci, Linda’s husband and travel companion. I’m not really involved in the organisation, but I’m more involved in the execution. I love driving, I have no problem driving thousands of kilometres in a row. I’m responsible for the campervan and for making sure that everything is available and in order during our trip. I’m not good at blogging but I’ll solve any problems that arise on the road…I go where Linda says.
We create every piece of content with honesty and care. All of our trips are self-funded so you will find are honest travel tips, tried-and-tested hiking guides, and real experiences from real people.
Our goal is to give you the tools and inspiration you need to plan authentic, nature-focused adventures that are truly your own. Thanks for being here.
