Famous Hungarian Nomad travelling in an ox wagon for 14 years killed in France – photos, video

According to index.hu, a 90-year-old driver ran down Gergő Balázs Gecse Sunday morning in the south-east part of France, near Villard-Bonn. As we reported before, Mr Gecse had been travelling Hungary and Europe since he was 18. He said that it might happen that one day he would find a place where he would settle, but “that’s a long time away.”

He chose endless freedom instead of Internet and TV

Gergő Balázs Gecse (32) finished secondary school in 2004 and, though he could have chosen to study at a university, he chose to wander instead. The young man said in 2016 that the world was too big for him to stay in one place since he had

always loved nature and being outdoors.

He built his covered ox wagon himself and his initial companions were a Hungarian cattle breed, two goats and a shepherd dog. He did not read newspapers, did not give interviews, and did not watch TV.

Instead, he met a lot of nice people and saw many beautiful places. In fact, he gave an interview in 2016 in which he said that he had never been robbed, and wherever he camped – on fields or by the side of forests – the locals usually offered him food and drinks. In return, he

often told stories and fairy tales

or played virtuously his piano accordion to the gathered audience. In the warmer seasons, he cleaned himself in streams and lakes and washed his clothes with ash lye.
