I was born in a country that abounds in mystery regarding both its past and present. When my life started, my home was behind the stern Iron Curtain that divided East from West. Consequently, I experienced a soft dictatorship and liberal capitalism as well. When I was 9, I was asked by my primary teacher if I wanted to become a guide one day.
My answer was an immediate and enthusiastic ’yes’. Little did I know then that I would not only major in history at University, but I would also have the opportunity to find the thread for my own family’s turbulent history. In my case this refers to three generations before and after the political changes. So I retraced what events had shaped my psyche and what impact society has on individuals in general.
Mission
I decided to share the insights that I have about the sociological question of „nature and nurture” with visitors who started to flock to our country after the EU accession in 2004. Because I trained to become a licensed guide, I had plenty of options to tailor my tours to my audience. I design unique routes as well as scenarios based on a number of themes. 80 per cent of my work is done in English, and the rest in German and Spanish. In 2019 I started my own company offering various tours related to my qualifications and experience. Naturally, the backbone of my services is tourism that is based on interactive methods of delivery. These include drama, songs and folk tales.
I have placed my available tours in four main categories. You can find a range of programmes in each of them. Altogether, you can book twelve different tours with me.
Below you can find a list of exciting routes and themes to facilitate your choice.
