I am Ludek, an ordenary guy from a small country sited in the heart of Europe, called Czech Republic. I like beach and mountains, long-term travels as a backpacker, spending winters as a ski bum and visiting cities as a hipster. Traveling on the budget and working abroad I am making my dreams come true. Follow my andvetures here and get inspiration for yours.
My first travels were tied up with work. It was the summer after high school and my friends and I went to England to make millions of pounds. Unfortunately we didn’t succeed because when we arrived our promised jobs weren’t there anymore.
So we decided to hitchhike all around the country in search of new jobs. After three weeks we eventually worked for ten days on a farm picking berries, which just covered our expenses. Even though we didn’t return home with our pockets full of money we were rich on adventures and experiences. We brought home nice memories and a lot of fun stories that nobody can take away from us.

During my university years my travels lead to Spain. Without knowing any Spanish I applied for ERASMUS program in Vitoria-Gasteiz, spent there one year and fell in love with the country. I liked Spain so much that I went back for five more summers and worked as lifeguard, bartender and waiter in various places. It was a wonderful time.
My real traveling started after graduation when I went with my friends to Thailand and my sister to Myanmar and discovered the beauty of traveling. During this trip I visited a lot of amazing places that I didn’t even realize existed. I met heaps of interesting people with wonderful stories about places they had been and listening to their tales made me wish to visit these places too.
It meant that I needed to make more money for next travels. So the following winter I went to work my third season in Austria as a ski instructor and in summer I worked in Prague as a tourist guide and rickshaw driver. After six months of work,I went back to South East Asia for ten weeks, this time to Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam.
Next winter I went to Switzerland to make more money for traveling. That time I started to build up this website to have a prove off mine own trips and to inspire other people as well. I hoped a little bit that if everything would go good, the blog could help me to fund my travels as well. So let see.
I haven't worked in any coorporate company and I don't realy plan it. I want to be independent and do what I want to. I would like to keep traveling as long as possible. I don’t know what the future holds for me but until I do I will travel and try to keep you up to date on my adventures.
