About Me

Would it be cliché to say that I love travelling? Who doesn't, right :-). I fell in love with the idea of free and adventurous travel when I was living in Turkey and travelled around with my friends. Then I got amazing opportunity to visit indigenous peoples in Tanzania and report on their lives as a journalist. From Tanzania I followed to Zanzibar and had the time of my life.

I'm still visiting Turkey a lot but currently I'm living in Prague and trying to get familiar with the city. It's actually nice to have a permanent place to stay for a while :). But it doesn't stop me from travelling, quite the opposite!

IMPORTANT INFO

I like to eat. A lot. :). I'm currently in love with Baklava!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I met the Maasai people in Tanzania, who haven't seen European before. I spent few days with them and my colleagues as we did a journalist field trip to the country.
I lived in Turkey for almost two years, I fell in love with baklava! And Istanbul, of course.
