My Airbnb hosting story started in Prague, where my friend Taylor and I rented out several apartments with the intent of subletting them out to short-term visitors. Accusations of drunk guests passed out in the stairwell, things falling from windows and lost guests knocking on the wrong door soon became commonplace. Intro: Gear Up for your Adventure After spending the last six years living all over Europe and running my young travel company, I want to share a handful of insider tips picked up from a life on the road.
I ended up studying in the Czech Republic because I knew nothing about it and wanted to be challenged and after spending days living in that country, I can honestly tell you that it was the most amazing experience of my life and it all had to do because of the country and city that I was in.
This is why you need to study abroad in Prague:. The food in Prague is all hearty, stick-to-your-ribs type of food. My personal favorite is the Czech pork knuckle. Yes, you heard that right I loved to eat the foot of a pig. Sure tredelnik is cool, but the real Czechs know that the chocolate cake from Prague is where you go to have your chocolate cake dreams realized.
The Drinks : Beer, beer, and more beer. The Czechs drink beer more than water which is a-ok with me, and the best part is that the beer actually tastes good in the Czech Republic! It is a special type of wine that is only available in September and it will change your life. It tastes like sparkling lemonade but if you have too much your liver will be gasping for air and wondering what it ever did to deserve that type of treatment.
The Views: I could never manage to get over the amazing views that Prague has to offer even after a full semester there. Take a 15 minute walk from Old Town Square and you can find yourself at either Letna Park or Prague Castle, both of which have amazing views of the city. For a real experience, go up to Letna Park right before sunset with your friends and watch the most beautiful thing you have ever seen.
