About me

Hi there! This is Gyula here, editor of The Roaming Adventurer, a website fulfilling my old desire to share my adventures and experiences with the rest of the world. I would love to catch your interest and provide you with some tips and hints on where to go, what to see, eat, drink and wear at these particular places. In case you’re the stay-at-home type, I hope you’ll change your mind reading these pages and start packing your bags right away, if not, just sit back and enjoy the stories and photos I posted on this site.

I grew up in a family where both of my parents were nature enthusiasts, and being the only child they took me everywhere from dark, wet caves to high, snow-covered mountains from a very early age. My first experience in a show-cave was in a pram when I was around 3 months old, I had skies on my feet right after I learnt to walk. Between the ages of 8-15 I participated in several amateur sailing and skiing championships, I collected a few medals in both sports. I took up snowboarding when I was 16 and became an avid windsurfer about 8 years ago. I participated in extensive rock climbing and mountaineering trainings, I'm a member of the Hungarian Mountaineering Instructors Society (MAHOE) and the Austrian Alpine Club (ÖEAV).

In 2009 I became interested in digital photography, and after buying my first DSLR and going through several books and tutorials I began to combine my outdoor activities with my new hobby. With the rapid expansion of the outdoor sport cameras just recently I started venturing into the hot and trendy field of digital movie making as one more platform thourgh which I can show the world how amazingly beautiful this planet truly is.
