When you first arrive in the Czech Republic, it can seem as though the only non-meat options available to you are cheese, pickled cheese, and fried cheese. If you’re vegan, then the choices are even more limited – bread, potatoes and cabbage, with perhaps some rice every now and then. While traditional Czech cuisine does … More Vegetarian and Vegan Prague
Now, as you may know, I am rather fond of beer these days. While Prague is full of amazing places to drink and discover the stuff, sometimes it’s nice to go further afield in the quest for a nice pink (well, half litre). It was over a year ago when we first discovered Tábor’s annual … More Tábor Beer Festival
They say a picture speaks 1000 words. So, here are a whole ton of words for you, in photo form. Sometimes it’s hard to really explain what it’s like living in Prague from day to day, so I’m hoping that these pictures will shed light on the whole experience a little more…
In my time here, I’ve seen a lot, done a lot, learned a lot. It’s not often that I put these things into words, exactly, but I’m going to try. So, here are things I’ve learned from Prague, about Prague and the Czech Republic in general. Hopefully they will give you a window into Czech … More 33 Things I’ve Learnt From Prague

Barely 2 hours from Prague lies the beautiful town of Karlovy Vary. Famous for its natural spas, every summer sees tourists flock to soothe their aching muscles in its healing waters. For many, it is a magical place, while others (including my guide book) see it as one massive tourist trap overcrowded with Russian hypochondriacs. … More Exploring Karlovy Vary
Firstly, I must apologise for the lack of recent updates! I’ve been busy, I’ve been forgetful, and I haven’t really known what to write about. While life is certainly different here than back in the U.K., Japan was so different that I was never short of topics. Here, life plods along, I teach and hang … More Where to find great beer in Prague
It’s the most wonderful time of the year… apparently. Once again, a year has managed to sneak past almost unnoticed. Trees bloomed and blossomed and shed their dead leaves in the blink of an eye, and we stand here again in the frost, waiting to spend our hard-earned money on presents that nobody will really … More A Czech Christmas (aka Carp and Devils)
While it’s impossible to walk around the centre of Prague without thinking “Wow! I live here!”, it’s only natural to need some time out every now and again. Over the last few weeks, I have been making the effort to venture outwards, to the outskirts and beyond. Here, I will present my findings! 1) Divoká … More Great Day Trips from Prague
As you know, I’m not in Japan anymore. It’s sad. Sometimes I really, really miss being there so much that I want to cry, and other times I think how glad I am to be away. Well, here I am in Prague, and while we all might like to pretend we don’t compare our hot … More Prague vs Hamamatsu, Japan – Round 1
