How was my year 2018

My dear friends,
every January I do plans for following year. I try to summarize how was my year, what I did, what I didn´t succeed. What I could do better next time. I´m trying to take the best of it and don´t worry too much about what happened. We all usually talk only about the good things, but also in my life some of the bad ones happened..

Did you know about me
... traveled to 9 countries: Germany, Poland, Hungary, Austria, Russia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia, Italy
... during my free time I moderate events - speed dating in Prague
.... still attend school - I´m a member of philosophical school New Acropolis - www.akropolis.cz
... reunion with my friend Jasmine from Taiwan
... my brother traveled the world - voluntary jobs in Macedonia, England, Ireland, and spent the summer in Alasca, visited Island...
... went to Bosnia with my brother
.... went to Russia by bike
... played a theatre for kids
... organized a holiday for my friends- Sumava National Park + canoeing
.... visited traveling festivals and got some inspiration
... completed few courses about communication 
... decided that I will be part of a big race - 50 km in cross country skiing which take a place in February
... climbing wall- I have a new personal record - 6a accoring to French markings. 
... charity run Teribear - I raised more than 5 000 CZK in charity run = 171 km. The event was attended by 6,487 women and I finished as 44. 
... visited my favourite uncle in Ostrava for a long weekend
... since June I run at least 6 times per week - during the morning and it´s the best way how to start your day, I love it.
... almost every weekend I organized some trip
... read 13 books
... visited many new restaurats (especially Italian) and cafes in Prague

So, how was my year 2018?

First of all - always smiling.

Last day of the year 2018 - trip to Krkonose National Park.


My message for you: Friends are important. One of my best friends comes from Taiwan and I´m really grateful for her and our reunion last year.


It doesn´s really refer to the picture but I would like to say: "Smile more because it doesn´t cost you anything".



My plans for 2019

- finish the big race of 50 km in cross country skiing under the 6 hours
-  trying to be more positive

Rabi as the largest castle ruin in Bohemia

This actually wasn´t part of my itinerary but my friends suggested to go there. It was our very last stop after the climbing centre. You can pay for commented tour. I think it´s always better because you can learn something about the place and you don´t have to read it. And if you wanna know something, you just ask. What I remember from this visit is a very nice view from the castle and in the past locals stolen some building material from the castle and what´s left you can see on the photos below.

Did you know that
.... you can see beautiful landscapes from the castle
... dominant feature is a massive tower
... it´s on the list of national cultural monuments
... cultural events
... big fire in 18. century destroyed the castle
... after the fire people stolen what they could

A few photos






The view is just stunning, isn´t it? Such as beautiful landscape.
