HEY, I’M EDINA…
Welcome to Essence of the Road! I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.
My name is Edina, and I come from two small villages in Hungary, Hercegszántó and Nagybaracska. Growing up in these peaceful, close-knit communities nurtured my love for nature and adventure, but it also sparked a desire to explore far beyond my roots.
What Does Travel Mean to Me?
Travel is my essence—it’s what makes me whole. It gives me:
- Freedom to break free from my everyday cage.
- Humility to experience the world as it truly is.
- Respect for the many faces of the world.
- Love that fills my heart with clarity.
- Adventure that makes my blood race.
- Faith that reassures me of the unity in everything.
Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to visit so many incredible places, from neighboring villages to the furthest corners of the world. Every trip has filled my life with unforgettable moments, and I’m excited to share them with you—whether it inspires you to visit a nearby town or journey across the globe.
A Journey of Exploration and Wellness
My passion for travel is intricately linked to my love for wellness and essential oils. Traveling solo has taught me the importance of self-care on the road, and essential oils have become a vital part of my wellness routine. Whether I’m in the middle of a bustling city or hiking a serene mountain, I use essential oils to stay grounded and balanced, and I can’t wait to show you how you can do the same.
From Solo Trips to Study Tours
Throughout the years, I’ve organized numerous solo trips—some with family and friends, and others for professional study. Whether you’re looking for tips on solo travel, family adventures, or wellness practices, I’m here to help. Feel free to ask me anything!

HEY, I’M EDINA…
I was born with a wanderlust. For as long as I can remember, my world has been in motion. Whether it’s a small trip or a big adventure, the important thing is that something’s moving beneath me—be it puffing, rolling, chugging, flying, or floating. It could be a bike, a motorbike, a car, a bus, a train, a canoe, a boat, a ferry, or even a plane. And if none of those are an option, at least my legs keep me going. Every journey is a gift for my soul, even if it’s just a stroll through the fields or a visit to the next village.
