Exploring the Highlands

What should a mom and a bonus dad come up with when they move to a foreign country with a teenager and try to make it feel like home for them…? Well, if that teen has a talent for archery, that makes things a lot easier: Laci discovered the coziest adventure park in the area, featuring a shooting range and seven archery courses (besides climbing, hiking, and other mountain sports) for the local community. So we explored the terrain, enjoyed heavenly homemade flatbread, hot soups (which came in especially handy on a rainy day). A special joy of the day was that a few friends also made the pilgrimage to see us in this harsh weather, just to make the area and our integration into the new place even friendlier. I am so grateful that they cared about Rú’s happiness and generously spent time with her for some shared shooting…! I can hardly wait for our next meetings 🙂

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. Later, I took on a new role at the Department of Health within the Ministry of Interior, continuing my journey in the healthcare field from a different perspective. Life has also grown in beautiful new ways: a wonderful partner has brought fresh energy and warmth into what was once just me and Rú—now we’re a family of three. 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!
