Béláné Mocsáry (1845–1917) was a Hungarian geographer and one of the first people from her country to write extensively about her journeys to Europe, Asia, Africa and North and South America.

Between the ages of eight and twelve, she lived in Pest, and then returned home to her father's house in Pomáz, and learned several foreign languages, handicrafts and piano.

In their spare time, the couple would travel extensively, notably visiting Switzerland, Italy, France, Belgium, England, and Germany.

[3]In January, 1893, together with her sister, Mocsáry traveled to the Balkans and the Middle East, visiting Greece, Turkey, Palestine and Egypt, even reaching Nubia on the Nile River.

[1] A few months after her return, she began her first solo journey to fulfill her childhood desire to see India, the Himalayas and the island of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka).

[2] After spending some time at home, Mocsáry embarked on transatlantic voyages and twice traveled to North America: once to the United States in 1896, including Alaska, and then to Mexico in 1904.
