hey there!

Hi, my name is Meeka Fayetima, and you can find me frolicking in the ocean or getting lost in a castle. My first love is the ocean, and I love scuba diving, freediving, and mermaiding. If you're an ocean babe who loves dreamy travel destinations, hidden gems, and afternoon tea spots, we should be friends.

If you’re short on time you can do a tour of the Hungarian State Opera instead of watching a full show. They give you a behind the scenes look + a small show at the end. Definitely a must do when in Budapest 🇭🇺.

New York Cafe is the most popular cafe in Budapest New York Cafe is the most popular cafe in Budapest but I recommend visiting Grand Central Cafe instead. They have gorgeous aesthetics, their pastries are amazing, and the service was phenomenal.  Plus their mussels are delicious. Save this for your future trip to Budapest.

The perfect place to fall in 💌 Some call Buda The perfect place to fall in 💌 

Some call Budapest the “Paris of the East” and I can see why. Between the castles, museums, and historic estates, you can spend months taking in all the culture.

Is Budapest’s Parliament Building More beautiful than the Eiffel Tower 🗼?
