Hi, name’s Aly! Originally from Birmingham, England, I have been discovering the world for over 3 years straight. I am a psychology graduate with a love for Pho and red wine. Whether I throw myself into a novel or from 14,000ft up out of a plane, I look at adventure big and small and say “Let’s do this!”
PsychoTraveller is more than just travel, its a platform to inform and inspire people of all ages to live the life they want to live. PsychoTraveller showcases through weekly videos her life on the road, the people she meets, the food she tastes as well as the highs and lows behind living as a digital nomad.
MY BIGGEST RECOMMENDATION for Budapest, go and get a train towards "Horány", it's an island on the Danube River! There's a free beach and some of the most wonderful nature outside of the city! Costs would be less than 3€ for transport - a ferry ride included! :)
Oooo thank you! I'll check that out!!
As far as I remember 500ft or something, and the ride only takes 20min +/---!
I lived in Horány. Such a peaceful place. :) Especially the forests.
A 3 day transport pass costs 13 euro!!
Can somebody give more information? It seems that Horany is not the island (Szentendre) but rather a village on it. Is the beach there? and swimming allowed? What else can someone do if there is no car or bike available?
Love this! Thanks for sharing! We loved Budapest!
Great video! I am going to Budapest in about 2 weeks and I found this very helpful.
Great vid! I really enjoy your insights and sense of humour!
Looked like a great day :) loved the video
That's awesome 😜 and some of your shots in this video is really amazing keep up your good work
nice video letting me drive around of Budapest .i have a plan for going there for studying in univ and this was impressive for me
I got chills from the tour of that Basilica. Stunning. The music you used didn't hurt either :)
You were bell-bombed @2:57 :)
Yeah that view doesn't suck OMG!! Love that little speed-up edit you did @4:22. Your nuances are never lost on me.
Didn't know about the reason for the building height restrictions! Very cool indeed!
Aly you are absolutely glowing in this video..not a far cry from others either :)
More similar vlogs would be a-okay yes
So happy that you pronounce Budapest correctly! Yay!
Great tips! We loved visiting the Basilica last October. It was our first time at the top.
Cool video! I like your camera work and editing too. Solid! Keep it up & safe travels.
I'm going to Budapest next weekend. This video was so helpful, thank you. If you are going to do anymore Budapest videos could you do it before next friday haha
I really enjoyed this style of video, like an informational vlog! More like this if possible pleeeease!
The footage in the Basilica was absolutely stunning!!!!
Hi
Loved this video. Every Budapest video makes me even more excited for my visit in May 2018. Thank you for sharing
Budapest is the best city in the world. Friendly, cheap and just amazing, I was lucky enough to stay in an apartment opposite the Parliament buildings at christmas time. I'm going back in 3 weeks I loved it that much!
Wow, now that's a view!!
It's a shame you can't add pictures!! Wishing you both well!
I loved this video! I will be living in Hungary next year so this was very useful, thanks!!
Yes PLEASE! do more of these type of videos. Im going on to europe for 3 months early next year and I would love to have more idea as to how to budget my daily spending in different country. Can you please also do a video on Eurail and the advantage and disadvantage of a monthly pass. Thanks!! love your videos.
omg this video was SO helpful.
Love! Nice to see you in Budapest.
I'm going to budapest in a month and i'll be there on my birthday. This video was so useful, thank you so much! ^^
Absolutely loved this video :-)
Excellent video Ms. Aly. Cheers.
Yes do more of these! The Basilica made me tear up.
I really liked this video! :) Would enjoy more like it in the future. =Also, the view from the Basilica...WOW!

Super useful guide aly ! Me and a mate are hoping to get to Budapest in December so this guide will be amazing for that.ive been tô Budapest before ,but was much younger so can't wait to experience it again xx
You'll love it!!
Would be great to meet up ,but I know you will be in your mystery location ! I'll let you know dates when we book would be lovely to see you x
I just wanted to say thank you for your videos on Budapest. I just came back from spending 2 weeks there and it was amazing. As a solo traveler I felt completely at ease, I walked everywhere night and day. Absolutely fell in love with this beautiful city!
will stay at Mercure Budapest Korona Hotel, Budapest, Hungary. Where can I buy a quality sweater?
Amazing video Ally! Can believe you made that mistake 😂😂😂 oh well
This video is great I can’t wait to go next year!
Definitely would want another vlog style like this for other places !
This is a great idea series live the idea
That's a great idea for a video, I'd definitely watch more of this! And yaaaay for the vegan pizza!
Te vdw was great to watch loved the initiative taken to understand how much you will spend n a day n broke it down to 30 dollars gud job👍👍
Hi there,,, recently started following you, love your style and the touch of comedy, serious competition for Jim Carrey :) you made my day...
Thanks for sharing! Keep living your dream life. Cheers!
I like these types of videos!
I enjoy all the videos you put up Aly but I personally like these type of videos aside from your how cheap is.. and real talk.. Those are my top 3.. Very informative
Really enjoyed the footage of the cathedral. I was in Budapest in 2013 and loved the city. Want to come back and vlog it!
Love your videos...I fancy myself a great budget traveler, so im all for more budget videos from you!
Yes! Please do more of these videos 😄
I like these types of videos hope to see more
Super fun video showing more of the city, love all these kind of vids!
These kind of videos are very helpful. Please go on with that. And do it again in Prague. Take care, Christian
Ali, great tips, could You pinpoint the coffee shop hummus bar i.e. web phone as there are lots of places? Thanks look forward to your travels, thanks again.
Great video...I did the budget too....Well worth it is the boat trip to Margaret Island with Legenda Cruises on the Danube, includes a free drink each way , drop off and pick up any boat back...loads of free attractions on the Island,Abbey ruins, statues, mini rescue zoo, beautiful walks the whole trip 4200ft Nobody seems to mention this..it's fabulous Langosh and a beer delicious and cheap about £5 for dinner...so easy to do on a budget and the Great Synagogue has a tour included in the price, a museum attached and an exhibition of life in the wartime ghetto at the moment...highly recommend it....Fabulous city , I'll be going back, thanks for showing .
Thanks for the video! Id like it if you also included accomodation costs
Great video and budgeting. Lol, I totally thought the video was over when you put the pizza 🍕down lol.
I loved this type of video :). Maybe during the video you could tell us how good the food was there as well. Or how easy it is to figure out the public transport :). Loved it!
Excellent, 👍
Yes, more videos like these would be Great.
Missing Budapest. Very realistic to do daily, I was spending $35-$40 (avg) including my hostel.
Unfortunately, House of Terror doesn't have an audio guide in English but still enjoyable without. I love that pizza, it was the first vegan pizza I ever had :). Much love
+alteredillusions100 they do have it in English, Ron. Because they offered it to me! 😃
PsychoTraveller I must be thinking of another museum there.
yes they do.
alteredillusions100 - Taco bell
More videos like this would be awesome!
hahaha... you are super funny and really liked the way u explained ur day expenses and luved ur accents too which reminded me of nephew living in England... but he is 12 yrs kid 😁😁
I’m going to Prague in February. Can you do something similar or a real time budget for there when you go? :) loved this btw.
Hahahha I had the same reaction when I went to the Terror Museum and found out about the queue. I was there super late like around 3-3:30 or something. I thought I'd spend a few hours there before close but I barely made it through. When I finally got to the basement they were about to close. I did take the audio guide but also only because I got the discount. :') I'd say it was worth it because I just saw people standing around reading the papers in all rooms and at least I could look around while listening.
Actually.......that is a brilliant idea. Showing the cost of an average day for a traveller. Going to sites etc....and eating, drinking etc....that an average traveller would encounter on their day in that location. I think that is what most people are actually searching the internet for. Not crazy stuff, but just a regular day experience that a first time visitor would be looking for should they visit that location. Really love your video's and your spirit. Looking forward to MANY, MANY more.
Great video Aly! One question is Vlogmas going to be a thing this year since I really enjoyed it last year😁 keep up the good work!!
It is soo exciting to watch this video as a hungarian citizen , visit different cities too !
You are hilarious! Thanks for sharing.....
Very lovely
I need to get myself back to Budapest, loved it there.
Remote Darren keep making those vids kidder.👍
budapest, am gonna miss the bus am gonna miss the bus, hahaha this's some of the things that make me keep watching. i love the name, hope you loved the place. it sounds good
And she probably missed it afterall, as that was a trolley, not a bus.
I would love to see this as a series. Places I would adore seeing: Prague, Vienna, Rome, Barcelona, Krakow, Oslo and Stockholm.
+kateemma22 well you can look forward to Prague videos as I go there Monday! ☺
kateemma22 Oslo with 30 dollars?
Oslo 30 dollars.. You would get a coffee and a baguette
Also for 2000ft you can get a ticket for the National Gallery, in the Buda Castle and I would totally recommend that for the art lovers. Great selection there :) and in hummus bar they have cheaper food options :) also at Napfényes, the vegan restaurant, the daily offer is never over 1500ft. As for transportation you can also get on tram nr 2 and do the whole line following the river, considered one of the best scenic rides in Europe :D
I like the concept. And the budget. However I would definitely count room/accommodation in daily budget.
Well as a happy budapesti (budapestien / budapester / Budapest citizen) I can tell you 30 bucks should really be enough. To western standards everything is little money here. This video doesn't really show you the best picture, as honestly you can do better with less, but I understand that I have the advantage of knowing the city well as I live here
We need all your tips!!! How can we get more for less? Share some of that Budapestian insider knowledge
Share it then
well if you are a budapesti, you are probably not eating out (or ordering in) 2-3x a day, getting coffee at an expensive chain and checking out 2 tourist attractions (and probably make sure you get a discount if you do). You probably also have a public transport pass (berlet) too (or take a bike or whatnot). As noone does in their home country. Since Ally is living there, I assume she is also not going to tourist attractions a day and eating out as much - or maybe she does. I agree, many Western Europeans/Americans/Canadians/Australians Hungary is 'cheap'....but to be honest, I don't think it really is, even if you compare it to Eastern-European countries. And for Hungarians on an average Hungarian salary it certainly is not. I am Hungarian, but I have moved away in my late teens and living as a nomad since my early/mid-20s for nearly 10 yrs now, but whenever I visited Hungary or spent a few months there I didn't find it cheap by all means - and I did tourist attractions... And yes, even as a tourist/traveler you can do better, you can always cook or find cheaper eats, do more free attractions, walk to places instead of taking public transport, but you can also do much worst, I mean Hummus bar and that pizza or dreher are by far not the expensive options to choose for a meal and drinks. What you forget it that you are a 'budapesti' living a regular life while this is a video for tourists/travelers coming to visit Budapest from a travel blogger who's 'job' is to show you all the tourist stuff not regular life of school/work and eating porkolt and zsiros kenyer at home :) Think about your vacations, you probably do spend way more than you do at home on an average week or locals do where you are vacaying. Even traveling, it may be fancy to say that you can do SE-Asia on 15 or even 10 dollars a day, but many locals live from much less. Even currently in the living in the US I don't spend $30 a day, even with rent, utilities, transport, basics, I may spend $50 a day (max), but if I was vacationing for 2 weeks, you bet it would be more...
Kat yeah I agree with most of what you said, I only wrote that cause at the start of the video she said 30or less. I just didn't want anyone to feel like Budapest is not for them if they find 30bucks a day a little too much, cause I think you can have a good time here even on a tighter budget. Personally I haven't visited as many places as I want (who has? :)), but I perfectly agree that you spend more when you travel... I spend a lot of my time in Budapest's different cafés, I also know the one in the video, and I agree, their coffee is great, but if you're looking for a place with a really nice atmosphere to spend some time there are some amazing places with pretty decent coffee for half the price. Also about food, yeah, sure, if you're eating out those were not horrible options, but generally, you can get a pretty good pizza here for 6bucks or less, and the some goes for other similar meals. I'd be glad to share my experience with anyone who's thinking about coming to Budapest, I've lived here my whole life, but I don't wanna write a novel here.
David Steere ok, just a few thoughts. You should probably use Airbnb if you're coming for shorter time and try to find one in the outer districts (not really out though, somewhere like 14th 13th as the public transport is really really good and the prices are a lot lower in these districts with plenty of options(seriously, you will only need to take like one bus and you're in the inner city)), and I'd advise the same strategy for longer stays. If you're staying for at least a weak you should really get a weekly ticket or a passport as the tickets would add up(here passports are for a certain time period not for number of uses, I can imagine it's different in other places) about sightseeing, if you wanna spend the least possible, then you should roam around buda, as the 1st and the 5th districts have the nicest architecture. Also, if you're an EU citizen then many places offer a discount, and if you have any eu student card some it can get even cheaper. If you wanna change your currency here, definitely don't do it in the inner city, as they will rip you off (I'm talking 20-30% worse rates). If the weather's nice I really recommend to check out Városliget, Margitsziget(margaret island) and the forests in buda's mountains. You can find some breathtaking views there, public transport will get you there, and it's not really known among tourists. You can obviously visit anything on a guide, though I personally think a few things are overrated(but they probably amazing for tourists) you can also rent a bike if you want, but let me warn you, most of the inner city is not super bike friendly. I think I don't have to mention the Danube, but I think you probably shouldn't take a cruise to Visegrád, I just don't think it's something worth your time really. On summer weekends one of the bridges is closed from traffic, so you can have a nice picnic there, or do yoga, or whatever, the sunset is breathtaking from the danube's pest side, you should definitely watch it at least once. Nothing else really comes to mind right now, but if there's anything you have a question about, I'm glad to answer to my best knowledge
I wanna gooo! Evyerone just tells me how amazing and cheap it is! And beautiful!
Ok, cheap maybe for you, but not me, who live in Hungary. I earn ~400 dollar / month for my family with 2 children. For for example a supermarket is cheaper everywhere in Germany, where the people earns 4-5 times more money....
+Viktor Kiss there's no need to be salty. I love Budapest and Hungary❤️ it might be a bit harder but it could be so much worse. Love what you have and you'll be so much happier 😘❤️❤️
Mate... with those paintings, you need to get into some galleries, and you'll get much more than $400 ;) Those are amazing, especially the girl with them blue eyes!!
Yes that would be great keeping a budget friendly..
I liked it a lot just wished we could have seen more of the sites..
Yes. Do a budget day video and a free day video for each city
Yes,😊
This was a great video Aly! I'm going to Budapest for a week in a couple of weeks time and I was worried I wasn't taking enough money. I have a couple of questions though if you don't mind? I'm not very fit...are the steps at the basilica really tough? Also (please excuse my ignorance) but I don't speak very much Hungarian... do people generally understand English? Thank you x
+Carley Edminson ok, first, the steps are easily manageable if you're able bodied. Also you will be fine without speaking Hungarian 😊
Hey Carley
St Stephen's Basilica was lovely. If I recall correctly, the 200HUF is not compulsory. Anyhow, I lit a couple of candles while there to commemorate the loved ones we lost 💜
Hummus bar was the only restaurant we went to twice - all other restaurants only once - because the food was good and very reasonably priced. I swear we came out of there feeling full and could carry on until much later than our normal supper time.
As for the age, I made a mistake in my elder daughter's age a number of years ago. I said she was younger than 4 when In fact she was 4 at the time. Oh well, she got into an attraction for free instead of having to pay 😂
Hey , about your video a couple years ago when you compared flights on 3 websites , i figured that the prices you got were impossible to get on a return ticket for example : London to Bangkok on no site is 255 pounds return , were you searching for one way fares??
How much did your lodgings cost? Are you near the downtown or was it a long ride?
The fascinating Kerepesi Cemetery is free to visit. It's a bit out of the way though.
Which microphone are you using when city walk-filming?? Great episode
Away To Anywhere I believe she's using the built-in mic with a diy foam windscreen on it. Maybe?
+Adam Kröger yes!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMAZING video! Let's do it in Stockholm when you come next summer!!! :D
Going to Budapest next week, and mannn i like this 30 USD thing a day. Nice
Same!! I get there on Friday haha
@@ethanm9191 I am getting out on 9:00 am from Budapest :/
So you won't be there on Friday!:(
@@ethanm9191 nope Sorry :/
What is the name of that vegan restaurant where you got the pizza from ? Need to know for my Hungary trip next year :D Thank you xx
I loved this video it really helps. Can u please also budget for accomodation, because I feel like that can be a big expense. I know it depends on what type of accommodation you choose, but can u estimate them for whatever city u go to. So it gives us more of an idea of how much we will be spending :)
+Alex Donovan for sure. I always cover that in my "How expensive is... " Videos ☺
6:19 nice! I love a good queue me
Hi there how are you my dear? I love your videos amazing you are please can you wirte down the planning your trips and budget price please
You know what? I’m switching Milan/Venice for Budapest for my starting point before going to Ljubljana-Zagreb-Dubrovnik.
I saw your Kuala Lumpur videos. Any cheap place that is comparable to Kuala Lumpur?
Pleasw continue with similar videos...
Aly me and my partner are coming in two weeks. For 4 days Flights and air b&b paid. What kinda budget do you think we could get away with ? Thank youuuuu
The Bazilika is faaar down the list of favourite places to see in Budapest. For the view, go to the Buda hills. For architecture, Andrássy avenue, Opera, Heroe's square, Városliget are all free and very typical. For lunch, you should go to one of those places where the locals eat (Fözelékfaló is vegetarian friendly). There are great museums that are free, and students get 50% discount on almost everything, especially public transport. You could have done MUCH better and cheaper with a bit more research. Also, getting a beer at a no-name bar is almost as cheap as buying a can and drinking it alone at home (and how boring is that!)
I love how in Europe you guys call coffee beer or food take away instead of in America we call it to go 😂 but anyways thanks for the video Aly!
I falled in Love with this girl! :)
Let me know the next time you're coming here, I'll show you some even more amazing stuff, little secrets of the city :)
Can you share what some of these secrets are?
How did I spent 7 weeks in Budapest and not know about the Basilica? :/
Need to go back now! :P
yes do that
lol wut O.o r u sure u were in budapest
When you go into the Basilica Don't miss the First Hungarian Cristian king's St Sephan's Right hand (1000 AD) preserved at the back of the main altar. It is the holiest and most iconic thing for the Hungarians, together with the holy crown, which is kept in the parliament house
It would be really helpful to see videos, where you show how much you actually spend a day not being on a tight or specific budget, because you really never know how your day will be like and what will you want to do. In fact 30 dollars a day for Europe is not enough, and there may be attractions that costs around 30 dollars for each but it is definitely worth seeing. Just a couple of weeks ago I returned from Vienna, Austria, and there 30 dollars is enough is you will just sit in hostel and buy food from supermarket. For example, Zoo in Vienna is around 25 Eur, so almost 30 dollars, and in average museums are 15 Eur, so 2 museums + 2 meals (10 Eur for each I would say is really good price) + 1 coffee (3-4 Eur) and you hit 53 Eur or 61.50 Dollars a day
+Kristina M absolutely! That's why I want to do these videos in lots of different cities in Europe. I don't claim this is a budget for every city ☺
Enjoy ;)
So what's the deal wit the 2000 mark? It looks like it's almost set that way for many things
Wow One of the best travel videos I’ve ever seen
ok, its a good idea and cute, but what for this excessive theater in high-C?
can you take a pic of the astrology under the arch of st stephens forme?
Congratulations on your perfect pronunciation of Budapest, most native English speakers dont get it right. Nice video, too!
Would you please tell me where I can buy a nice sweater at a reasonable price in Budapest? I will be at Mercure Budapest Korona Hotel, Budapest, Hungary. Thank you
I think these videos are good because they show the living cost
I live in hungary and you can easily get everything with at least 5 dollars left
I must go to budapest
Hello , im visiting Budapest in two weeks and I am a vegan and since you talked about the vegan pizzeria I wanted to ask you if you could give me any vegan restaurants recommendation im staying in the Museum Hotel Budapest, thank you 😊
P.S: the basilica view is gorgeous
Hey! can you please answer! I'm also plant based and would love to know the pizza restaurant and also any other suggestions! Thanks!
