Scotland baby

January 23, 2023

I have escaped to Scotland. In an ideal world, it would have been for three weeks and Lukas would be with me, possibly in a camper van or maybe cozy B&Bs. I am grateful that I at least had these three days to feel free. Things have certainly changed, I was flying with Raynair and I couldn’t care less. I didn’t…

It’s still a shock when it’s your own culture

October 11, 2022

There’s always loads of differences when you move countries, hell that’s why you move in the first place, to experience different cultures. There are things that you love and things that you complain about intensely. I know from various Facebook groups that fellow Czech people always miss different types of flour that are so widely used in our homeland. For…

Moving overseas – with little kids

September 14, 2022

I am fully aware that I am not the first person to move overseas with two little kids, but it didn’t make it any easier. It wasn’t just a move, it was a move of our first family home. First real home, first home of my own, where I have spent more than two years – six to be exact.…

Instagram versus reality

March 31, 2022

Throughout all the travels, living abroad and raising family across the world, I have learned that it’s not always the good memories that stay with you for life, but the strong ones. Let’s say that on this holiday we have certainly made some strong memories. If you glance at my photos on Instagram, you might think that we are rocking…

Snowy mountains, the toddler and corona

February 27, 2021

So after a year, we have finally ventured to the airport as a family. God it’s been a long time. I remember when we travelled last. Josefina couldn’t walk yet and run away from us as we were visiting all the wineries and breweries. Corona was already here, but I still thought that two months later I will be able…

Tasmania and New Zealand

December 30, 2018

Every since returning to Gold Coast from my European holidays I have been teaching yoga, working on the Lisa Maria Movement boot camp and yoga, I have been busy with my mom and my little brother who came to visit and did countless of admin and property management for Lukas. Still trying to find work of course. Having been pregnant…

Homeland

December 28, 2018

In 8 months, I will be celebrating the ten year anniversary of living abroad. And when I say celebrating, I don’t think of it as an achievement or something that I have been planning. Just as an anniversary that simply came by. Ten years, literally a decade, since I have packed my bags in 2009, got on that one way…

Western Australia and Japan

December 2, 2018

I really should have written about this when it happened, it’s so hard to remember, it almost makes me wonder why we travel so much. Perth was nice, mostly because we got to spend some time with our friends, but otherwise just another city. Freemantle was pretty and hispter = there was good coffee. We’ve enjoyed the drive to Busselton,…

Full Circle

October 14, 2018

I love the rain. It only took nearly two and a half years away from Scotland to finally admit that. The pleasure that I take from not having to leave the house because it’s so rainy, windy or cold and just allow myself to watch the Crown, read books and get creative, I love it. There are not many days…
