I’m Michaela, though most people know me as Míša. I come from Czechia, a small charming country in the very heart of Europe. My hobbies are as diverse as they come – I love photography, nature, have a soft spot for animals, and find fascination in psychology, especially when it comes to exploring various relationships. But above all, my greatest passion is undoubtedly traveling.

It all started during my teenage years when I attended a captivating diashow about Australia by a seasoned Czech traveler. That experience sparked curiosity and wanderlust within me. Fast forward 12 years, and here I am, getting ready for a one-year adventure in Australia.

But let’s rewind a bit. After living in Prague for 8 years, completing my studies in physiotherapy, and squeezing in weekend getaways and holiday travels, I realized this wasn’t the path I wanted. I quit my 9-5 job and relocated from the Czech capital to set up a base back in my hometown.

I found a remote job and spent the year of 2022 traveling around Europe — housesitting and dipping my toes into the digital nomad lifestyle. However, 2023 threw in couple of challenges in the form of health setbacks that temporarily disrupted my plans.

Join me on this roller-coaster journey, as I share tales and insights. I will do my best to deliver engaging and informative content full of tips and advice. As a big seeker of connections, I’m excited to share my experiences on connecting with fellow travelers and locals. I’ll introduce you to my favourite platforms — like Couchsurfing, housesitting and more — to help you create meaningful encounters around the globe.
