Je m’appelle Sofia, j’ai 47 ans et je suis passionnée par le voyage et l’écriture. La Tchéquie, et plus précisément Hřensko, a une place spéciale dans mon cœur. Ce petit village au pied de la Suisse saxonne, avec ses maisons pittoresques et ses falaises impressionnantes, a su me charmer. Chaque fois que je le visite, j’aime me perdre dans ses ruelles et découvrir de nouveaux endroits. Une fois, j’ai même réussi à me perdre dans les gorges de la Kamenice, ce qui a été une aventure en soi! Dans mes articles, je tente de transmettre l’essence de ces lieux, de capturer leur âme et de la partager avec vous. J’espère que vous apprécierez la lecture autant que j’apprécie l’écriture.
