After leaving everyday life in Canada behind and setting out to travel the world, Eileen Aldis creates professional-quality videos about her adventures on multiple continents, but she seems especially interested in Budapest – her increasingly popular YouTube channel now features several mini-movies that walk viewers through her varied experiences in the Magyar metropolis. From the ruin bars to the thermal baths to the Christmas fairs, Eileen offers plenty of informative tips with a lively style, making her videos useful for Budapest newcomers.

With bearded boyfriend Marc by her side, Canadian vlogger Eileen Aldis has produced numerous videos from world journeys taking her to South America, across Mexico and throughout much of Europe – yet she seems particularly impressed by Budapest, seeing that she’s created at least seven videos focused on Hungary’s capital. Eileen’s most recent release showcases several of the city’s iconic ruin pubs, ranging from low-key Füge Udvar to the granddaddy of them all, Szimpla Kert:

Back in May, Eileen posted another travelogue about assorted Hungarian dishes – such as goulash soup at the Fakanál cafeteria of Pest’s Great Market Hall and street food at Karaván – and this video turned out to be one of her most popular pieces, garnering almost 50,000 views:

Even more recently, Eileen and Marc shared their soaking sojourns to three of Budapest’s major thermal baths (Gellért, Rudas and Széchenyi), providing useful step-by-step details about the sometimes-confusing process of buying passes and using the changing rooms before entering the pools:

We’re not sure exactly when Eileen was here to make these videos, but it seems to be during colder months; she’s wearing a warm knitted tuque hat in many mini-movies, but then, Canadians are known to wear such headgear year-round. Regardless, she and Marc were definitely around when Budapest’s Christmas fairs were at full festive blast, shown in this audiovisual roundup from December:

It’s great to see that Eileen and Marc enjoyed themselves here in Budapest, and we appreciate that their videos have practical verve – to follow their ongoing journeys, check out the Eileen Aldis YouTube channel.
