About Me

I like food. I love to travel.

I have traveled all over Europe, fallen in love with Morocco and Turkey, crossed Armenia and Kyrgyzstan from end to end, and during a brief two-week visit, I got a glimpse under the surface of China. I strive to travel light, on a budget, and with respect for local customs. I feel most comfortable among the locals.

I prefer to explore foreign cultures through food. Researching local culinary specialties and restaurants takes up most of my time when preparing for a trip. I enjoy it. A good meal can easily be the goal of a trip.

Bon appétit!

Who I Am

I was born in a small village in the Wallachia region (Czechia), but since 2001, I’ve lived in Prague. I work as a freelancer in the IT field. Traveling and food are my big passions and a way to unwind from work. I pay for all my trips myself. I don’t work while traveling; I dedicate 100% of my time to exploring the location I’m in.

Because I have been cooking almost every day for many years, I approach the work of chefs with humility, as I can at least roughly imagine how much effort goes into every meal.
