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. I write sometimes about other countries from the region: Slovakia, Austria, Slovenia, and Croatia. As an experienced traveler, I also give expert advice on travel, travel tips, and I often review travel gear.
