About this site

Welcome to my web pages about Brno and the Brno region. I was born in Brno and grew up hiking, cycling and skiing in the surrounding countryside. This web site gradually grew out of my acquaintance with ex-pats and visitors for whom I translated the language and local culture.

Having lived and worked 4 years in Canada, (I built a nice wooden house in Sudbury, ON., volunteered in JASPER and YOHO NP, Alberta), travelled widely in Europe, Canada and the USA, I understand very well how daunting an unfamiliar culture and language can be at first. So my hope is that I can be a "cultural bridge" and make Brno and the area that I love so much a bit more accessible to you who might otherwise think that the Czech Republic was only Prague.

I enjoy travelling and painting. If you want to see my MY ART or pictures from my trips, please go to czech4you.webs.com
