My experience
Hello, I’m Joanna — a Polish girl who fell head‑over‑heels for the Czech Republic back in 2010 and never looked back. What started as a simple curiosity for the forests, castles, and tiny villages around my new home slowly grew into something much bigger: a deep love for discovering Europe one hidden corner at a time.
Over the years, my life changed — two wonderful daughters arrived, travel slowed down, then picked up again — but one thing stayed constant: the joy I feel when I find a place that makes me stop and say wow. And that’s exactly what Experience Europe is about.
What You’ll Find Here
This site is for travellers who love more than just the famous capitals. If you enjoy wandering through medieval streets, stumbling upon lakes you didn’t know existed, or finding the best viewpoints without the crowds, you’re in the right place.
I write about:
- Family‑friendly trips — because I explore with kids too
- Hidden gems — small towns, quiet forests, forgotten castles
- Big European cities — but always with practical tips, honest impressions, and easy-to-follow routes
- Czech Republic highlights — the country that stole my heart and still surprises me every week
Whether you’re planning a weekend escape, a family holiday, or a slow, scenic road trip, I want this space to feel like a friend sharing her favourite places with you.
Why I Created Experience Europe
It all began with my first blog, Experience Czech Republic, back in 2013. I closed it for a few years when motherhood took over — but the desire to explore never disappeared. My husband eventually said, “Let’s evolve it,” and he was right. Europe is too beautiful, too diverse, too full of stories not to share.
So here I am again — camera in one hand, kids’ snacks in the other — ready to take you with me.
Let’s Explore Together
If you love discovering new places, if you enjoy honest travel stories, or if you simply want inspiration for your next adventure, I’m happy you’re here. Let’s make your travel bucket list a little longer — and a lot more exciting.
