HI, I am retired and living with my husband in district 3 Obuda. I am looking for a walking partner or a city exploring partner. My husband goes swimming daily and I would love once a week getting out perhaps to the island or anywhere just to walk .

Hi Ildi,
Not sure if you are the right fit, but I have just had a lovely couple, who has found their apartment for rent with me downtown. They are French and has asked me about:
a) walking groups
b) getting to know Hungarian families to immerse in the Hungarian culture.
For a) I remember there used to be a group of runners (Hashhouse Courriers or so) but then I have lost track. Also, there was a group that sometimes makes events (on Facebook) for expats to walk in the woods of Pilis or Visegrádi Mountains. Or maybe even in the Buda Mountains.
I have told them about expat-blog so once they have moved over (Jan) we might pick the conversation up.
Cheers,
Dez

Thank you so much! I will be in Canada until the end of Jan when I return perhaps they will have settled in and I can connect with them.
Happy Holidays!

It's the Hash House Harriers or 3H. There are groups all over the world. It's usually styled as a drinking club with a running problem. You can always find a group, sometimes a lot of them, in almost any country. Usually there's a running route and a walking route - families no problem. I've participated in many countries - Azerbaijan, Kosovo, Egypt etc. It's a very good way to meet locals and all types of foreigners. There's a financial contribution at the end for the drinks (not necessarily alcoholic as there's always a non-alcoholic option). It's hardly anything for the drinks - there's no "profit", it's just for fun. And a lot of people go on after the walk to restaurants or bars to continue the chat.
