Guide Bio
I have been guiding special interest tours and private trips since 1993. I have finished my study just after the revolution in 1990 and I have received a degree in ecology from Mendel university in Brno, Czech Republic. I have been working in different fields of the travel industry including marketing and management but I love to work with people more. I have been guiding and operating many trips and private tours for a number of companies including world leading tour operators such as: Cox & Kings (UK), High Places (UK), Exodu s(UK), Sherpa (UK), Greenways (USA), Wildlife Travel (UK), Naturetrek (UK), Ornitholidays (UK), ExperincePlus (USA), Wilderness Travel (USA), Mountain Travel Sobek (USA) private groups and universities.
I have been guiding trips from different fields including walking and hiking, cycling and mountain biking, wildflowers and nature, history (including birdwatching), cultural, wines and culinary, photography, UNESCO sites and many other special interest trips. I have been responsible for tour management in countries: Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Austria and partly Russia. I am also co-founder of Czech Expedition Society(only Czech member of the Royal Geographical Society in London) which was focused on ecological projects abroad. I have cooperated with the international NGO for many years as I really prefer responsible travel with clients or on my own. It is one of the key approaches of my guiding as well as personal approach to each client.
I travel extensively and I organized special tours in different countries including Mexico, China, Thailand, Morocco, Cuba, Madagascar, USA, etc… I have also organized a filming expedition for Czech TV in Madagascar. I speak Czech, Slovak, English, and Russian languages. I like to show my visiting friends the great beauties of my region but also less-visited corners of my home countries, Czech Republic and Slovakia, as well as other central and eastern Europe countries. I love to share my feeling with other people who like to be more than just ordinary visitors. Come and try.
