One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stopped seeking amazing things :-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Basic hospitality of vegan flat, showing or pointing out interesting places in Prague or around.
I am not going to present you usual Prague turist sighseeings, I find the city centre too much crowded with turists. I am still trying to find an aswers to what is turism all about, and how to do it so that it does not ruin the magic of the places.

I can help you find your way around if you are after something that you already want to visit.
I try to balance living in the city with the need to spend time in outside in surrounding hills and forests.
