National Botanical Garden – Vácrátót
If you’ve moved to Vác and have a long weekend granted by the calendar, it’s definitely worth visiting this charming little arboretum. Even if you haven’t moved to Vác but love plants, or if you don’t have a long weekend but can spare some time to recharge, I wholeheartedly recommend this leafy, branching destination! It can be explored thoroughly in 2–3 hours, with time for a coffee from the super friendly snack bar. This planned duration includes jaw-dropping admiration of the blooming cactuses, tuning into the inner world of the greenhouses, and wandering lost among the countless paths—only to find yourself again.
And what did a plant-loving mom feel during the stroll…? She simply devoured the surroundings and tried to hear the flowers whispering to each other. Sometimes, it seemed she succeeded.
A thousand apologies for the many flower photos, but I just couldn’t stop…

Welcome to our little virtual corner! I’m a single mother raising my wonderful son, Ruben, who has grown into a remarkable teenager. For years, I was the sole breadwinner as a Krav Maga instructor, balancing the challenges of parenthood and work on my own. When Ruben started kindergarten, I embarked on a new journey by studying healthcare management at Semmelweis University, specializing in health tourism management. After graduating, I began working in my field and experienced firsthand the tragic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic while serving as a healthcare manager in a state hospital. As the pandemic subsided, I transitioned into private healthcare, where I currently work as a practice manager. Meanwhile, our family moved from a small town to Vác, a charming historic Danube riverside city near Budapest. Here, we embrace the everyday moments and joys of life together. If you want to hear more stories about us, you’re warmly invited to visit the original Daysonpaper blog at S&Ru’s Diary on daysonpaper.blog.hu. So I decided to try living for a year on an international stage and see if there are other mothers in similar shoes for whom this diary could be a support on the harder days—just as it has been a support for me when I was able to look beyond the difficulties and sincerely believe in my own strength. Thank you for stopping by!
