About Me

When I’m not teaching English or writing stories, you can find me biking or running on Czech trails, looking for mushrooms, or skiing in the mountains. In summer, my family likes camping, rafting, and paddle-boarding in the Czech Republic (and beyond). Although we love to explore new places, visits to my US hometown are also favorite travel experiences. Read More

When we first saw Rangeley Lake, it reminded us of When we first saw Rangeley Lake, it reminded us of an enormous Macha Lake in Czechia (about an hour from home). A few key differences - no kayaks or motorized boats apart from local ferries on Macha - only paddleboards and windsurfers. We paddled all the way to an island on the far side of the Rangeley Lake without seeing any other boaters, only to be greeted by No Trespassing Private Island signs. Wet, hungry and tired, we ate our sandwiches and tipped the water from our boats off the island dock. When an elderly couple came back on their boat from a mail run to the main island, they yelled, “Are you all okay?” We thanked them for the short use of their dock, and as we paddled back to our side, our kids said, “People in Maine are so friendly.” #lakekayaking, #rangeleylake, #halfnhalfprague
Hiking Tuckerman Ravine and Lion Den trails in the Hiking Tuckerman Ravine and Lion Den trails in the White Mountains (part of the Appalachians) on Mt. Washington, the highest peak in The Northeast. Despite a storm blowing in, the views were still breathtaking. We hiked through an alpine ravine that still had snow and scrambled over more wet rocks and boulders than I’ve ever encountered on a hike. Gusty winds on the ridge line kept us moving. #halfnhalfprague #abovethetreeline #hikingwithkids
We were delighted to spend this holiday weekend wi We were delighted to spend this holiday weekend with our favorite travel adventurers, Grana & Opa (scroll right for a good shot of them). Despite grey rainy skies for much of the trip, we’ve had fun exploring Maine, eating local and hanging out together. Although fog rolled in at the summit of Cadillac Mountain, the skies cleared up for our coastal hike to Sand Beach. Acadia is breathtakingly beautiful, and we’re hoping for blue skies and smooth waters next time. #halfnhalfprague

I got this lovely miniature art & postcard combo ( I got this lovely miniature art & postcard combo (swipe right to see the painting) from my dear friend Madeline, a fellow writer who lives near Chicago, IL. Ever since we met virtually in an online writing course more than three years ago, we’ve exhanged emails about writing and life. When she was quarantined during the pandemic, Madeline started sending 14 handwritten letters a month to friends and family. I feel lucky to be a recipient of her creative cheer and hope to pay it forward. Her card took more than a month to arrive in Czechia, but it was such a joyful surprise. I put the card next to a ceramic chick Oliver made many moons ago in preschool🐤. Art takes all forms.🎨 #pandemicpenpals, #postcardartwork, #writertowriter, #kitchenwindowsill, #friendsfromafar, #halfnhalfprague
