What better way than to wake up and find an e-mail like this one? This set the tone for a positive day all around.

Hello Ryan,

I am a long time reader of your Budget Nomad articles - enjoy them all and appreciate the great variety of topics you cover.

On occasion, you have mentioned that you miss some things from the US that are not available in Hungary (food in particular). On May 16, I'll be flying to Prague to join a Road Scholar group; eventually we will travel to Budapest and staying there (at the Hotel Carat) from May 26 to June 1.
My suitcase will be neither full nor heavy, and if you tell me what I can bring you, I would be more than happy to do so.

I have been an expat myself years ago, and fully appreciate that there are times when certain items from the US would be so nice to have.

Consider my offer "a random act of kindness", if you will.  Who knows, there may just be a return trip to Budapest in my future and then I'll have you as contacts there!

Details, as to my free time during the tour, etc., can be worked out later.

I look forward to your reply.

Ingrid
