Burnt Out in Budapest Christopher Robin Cox

It has been a long time since my last episode, and I hope to do more episodes this year than I did last year. In this latest episode, I am appealing to young people of voting age here in Hungary, because it is up to them whether or not we are able to rid ourselves of the problem of the increasingly fascist leader Viktor Orbán. Like other places in the world (America and Eastern Europe) there is a sense of creeping fascism, and it is very important that Hungary - which is a kind of curtain between East and West in Europe - does not fall on the wrong side of history. Young people are overwhelmingly against Orbán and if they vote in record numbers, it might be possible to unseat him.

In the first new episode for quite some time (I hope there will be more soon) I tell a story that I have been wanting to tell the world for a very long time, something that I experienced almost twenty years ago in the a small Northern California town called Cotati. If you like the story I share here and you would like to hear more stories like this, or you would perhaps like to share your story, please contact me. 

Music on for this episode is from the band Fifty-first Monkey and Christopher Robin Cox, yours truly.

The show has been on hold over the past few months, as I've been dealing with some life challenges, a busy work schedule, and many other issues of daily life. However, I do plan to come back on a more regular basis. After a long while away, I woke up in the morning and decided to just put up a short episode. I hope you enjoy it, and make sure to subscribe wherever you see Burnt Out in Budapest listed, and you'll get notified when I upload new episodes, which I will do VERY SOON!

In this episode I had a delightful and wide-ranging discussion with Canadian expat Heather Keagan. She teaches English as a foreign language to people of all ages here in Budapest. She's also passionate about mental health and has a great sense of humor. We get into everything from how Budapest has changed over the years, to the strange toilets we have here. 

We also talk at length about teaching English as a native speaker in foreign countries, which is likely useful for folks who are thinking about getting into TEFL as a profession. We end with some talk about what living in Budapest is like, what we like, what we don't like, and some of the unique things about life here. 

This is the first interview in what I hope to be regular series where I have open-ended discussions with expats from all over the world.
