Hello, I am Jan, a travel writer based in the Czech Republic. I specialize in discovering and writing about my homeland: medieval towns, mountain hikes, the local pub scene, and off-the-tourist-radar destinations.
I also write about life as an expat in Czechia, just what it is like to live here, and not just visit. That means the little victories, the cultural surprises, and the daily realities of establishing life in this side of the world. I have also spent some time in Vienna (Austria), and I wrote several useful articles for expats there.
