About me
My first experience with yachting had a real touch of adventure. It was 2006, I was 21, and a friend in Lisbon invited me on a luxury yacht of her Belgian friends who were participating in the Tall Ships Races. That same day, I met the Czech crew of a “competitive” smaller boat. Who just happened to look for help.
I had planned to stay in Portugal, but the desire to explore new horizons was stronger. I eventually made it all the way to Cádiz in southern Spain on the boat. A little later, my boss’s family invited me on a weekend cruise on Lake Mälaren near Stockholm. That was also the first (and last) time I tried surströmming. And I fell in love with calmer inland waters.
Since then, I have tried working in various fields, but my love for the water has not left me. So in 2022, I started writing texts in Czech for Yacht magazine. Mostly about new yachts and motorboats. In mid-2025, as a freelancer, I acquired a major client in the form of the Bratislava-based company Imidjex, which distributes sailboats and yachts from the French shipyard Jeanneau, Finnish heavy-duty workboats Targa and RIB boats Zodiac to the Slovak market.
I have experience in writing and editing texts in English, Czech and Slovak. As a polyglot, I can also process source materials in Polish, German, Swedish, Spanish and Portuguese. Even though I live inland, I am close to the Baťa Canal on the Czech-Slovak border, which is a popular place for lovers of water fun.
I love Sweden with its lagom and minimalism. The gate on my house is painted with faluröd paint, in my study there is a solitaire in the form of a painted brudkista from 1826 and I keep a Bible in Swedish, which is another 19 years older. I drive a Saab. In my dining room, I have pictures from loppis, depicting old Stockholm and a church somewhere in Småland... and I worked at IKEA during my studies, which is just the icing on the cake.
Combining my passions – the marine sector, languages, writing and Sweden – is a rather logical basis for my current professional direction. Thanks to my knowledge of the Scandinavian market, international background and flair for language, I can turn your texts aimed at international clients into readable stories that will touch hearts.
