I’ll always be a true blue Central New Jerseyan, but at the same time I consider myself a “Woman of the World”. Throughout my life, I’ve had a traveling bug, and have since visited over 20 countries around the world, living briefly in Asia and also in Central Europe.
During my first trip to Central Europe, my first stop was in the beautiful city of Prague. I didn’t know it then, but five years later I would meet the love of my life who was born and raised in that city. Since early 2021, I’ve resided with him in Brno, Czech Republic. Who would have thought at the age of 50 that I would be starting such a new life! And during a pandemic! Neither have closed my mind to new adventures and learning, though.
Along with travel experiences, here I also share my passion for cooking with authentic recipes and culinary tips. Those visiting Czech Republic (and other European spots), may also check out my restaurant and tourism recommendations.

I pray and wish that God heals you…

Hi,
I would like to know, (not for stalking purpose LOL) where do you guys live in Czech. I am Czech native, and my girlfriend (we met on eHarmony) got so excited (she started learning my language, and I am very impressed that she willing to do so), when I sent her you blog which I stumbled upon in pure luck. I am originally from Krokonose and now been living in US for 25 years. But I do go home visit my parents on yearly basis. You can email me, if you will see my email address which I just entered below. Thank you for such beautiful blog especially about Czech cooking.

Dobrý den, Petře! I’m so glad that you and your girlfriend found my blog. And I am most impressed that she is taking such an interest in your native language and culture. That’s a very good sign, in my opinion. Certainly if/when she ever visits Czech Republic, she will impress others, as well.
My husband and his family are natives of Praha, but right now Hubby and I live in Brno. He has some business here. He and I have been married for over 23 years, mostly living in my native US. I never knew we’d eventually relocate to CZ. Of course, like your girlfriend, I took interest in the Czech language and culture, but wish I’d studied even more. I’m very proficient at cooking Czech cuisine, but struggling with even casual conversations here.
My husband and I were not too far from Krokonose this past weekend, visiting an old friend at his chata. We had wanted to take a walk there, but sadly didn’t because of high winds and the holiday crowds (it was the day of Independence of Czechoslovakia).
I’ve been wanting to write more about my adjustment to living in CZ, but that will come. I’ll say that there have been several wonderful aspects to life here.
Perhaps you and your girlfriend can have fun practicing some Czech holiday traditions? I’ve found them quite lovely. I will write about them soon in my blog. Maybe you and your girlfriend would be interested in sources for Czech foods, from within the US? My post https://birdflight.blog/2018/04/04/finding-czech-and-slovak-groceries-in-the-us-and-uk/ might help. I have also posted many authentic Czech recipes to explore.

Hello Whatyoublogabout. I visited your blog and really like and appreciate its mission. Thank you for visiting mine and for your kind words.
In the past, I have written about my motivations for starting my blog, and have also shared some of my story, though not completely in the same post. To combine both, and to do so in a reasonably brief way, would take some extra work. A whole new post. I appreciate your offer for me to share such a post on your blog. Please let me think about this a bit.
You have already read my About page, obviously, but if you’d like to read about my motivations for blogging, visit my post at https://birdflight.blog/2018/03/23/one-year-of-blogging-lots-of-writing-and-exploration/ The way I wrote about my “story” is quite long. It is in the form of a number of multipart story series. As mentioned, I’d have to (and should) create a new highly abridged version.
