My name is MISHA.

I am a mum of two kids, who lives in the Czech Republic and loves travelling. I show other parents that Czechia is awesome, worth exploring, and why it's such a great place for family holidays.

I provide guidance for travels in Czechia, and, at the same time, I can share how we Czechs live and what we are like.

HOLIDAY IS COMING …

               I love planning holidays for my family. By “holiday” I do not have in mind all-inclusive hotel stays arranged by a travel agency, where my biggest concern would be the swimming pool temperature and what they serve on the buffet menu tonight.

             I mean the adventure holiday where we spend the family time together, we explore towns, sights, countryside, nature, traditions and local cuisine. There is usually something for every family member and we have fun.

             Once we are back at home, we can say that we enjoyed it, we learned something new, and we already look forward to the next adventure.

… IT IS NOT SO STRAIGHTFORWARD …

            That means that I am my family travel agent. It doesn’t really matter if we stay in Czechia or go abroad, it takes a lot of time to plan a dream holiday where everyone finds what they like. And travelling with kids has its specificities.

           I always consider the destination and its safety, what to see there, how to have fun there, how to get there, how to get around, how much does it all cost and what are the “what if options” for healthcare. I love doing that, but it always takes several “night shifts” by the pc to get all the necessary information and sometimes it is not even sure if this info is up to date and accurate.

          And last but not least it is hard to find the time needed for this planning in a working parent’s ordinary life filled with work, tasks and duties.

... AND NOT SO EASY ...

            My main source of information are travel experiences of other families with kids shared online or personally . Friends are always happy to share their holiday experience and tips. Among them I have got a lot of foreigners I met during my travels or at at work. They do not speak Czech, and I often get questions related to family holidays with kids in Czechia. They ask where to go, what to see, how to get there, what is there for kids, where to eat etc.

... BUT THERE MIGHT BE A WAY !   🙂

          Based on the interaction with my non-Czech speaker friends I tried to search and get them some links with information about independent family travels in Czechia. I found a few articles about Prague and Cesky Krumlov written by foreigners. The information there was very limited and it didn’t do justice to my beautiful home country.

          Sure, there are the official websites of towns, castles or attractions and majority of them have some English version… but it doesn’t give the overall picture, and one can get lost especially if one doesn’t know what to search for.

           And then it clicked! I AM CZECH, I HAVE KIDS AND WE LOVE TRAVELLING TOGETHER AROUND CZECHIA AS WELL AS ABROAD!  I know what I search for when I plan a holiday for my family.

          I can assume that other parents search for the same while planning their family holidays in the Czech Republic…. I can be the one who provides guidance for travels and, at the same time, I can share how we Czech live and what we are like.

         And that’s why this project started, to help to plan the dream family holiday with kids in the Czech Republic….

          You may be tempted to give it a try or you may still wonder if it is a good destination choice, where to go, what to see …and I might be able to help.
