I uncover hidden historical stories worldwide.

For more than 20 years, I have been uncovering hidden stories that connect people across countries, generations, and histories — from Kafka's journeys to the lives of forgotten Jewish refugees in Denmark..

I turn these stories into research, articles, and international projects. I work with archives, witnesses, and places to uncover forgotten connections — and transform them into lectures and public storytelling.

I also work with tourism destinations, uncovering hidden connections that make places meaningful, distinctive, and engaging for international visitors.

How I work?

🔹 Research

Uncovering hidden histories, family stories, and archival connections

🔹 Talks & Workshops

Lectures on history, storytelling, and media

🔹 Kafka Projects

A new perspective on Kafka — traveller, active sports man, modern thinker

🔹 Tourism & Storytelling

Helping destinations attract Czech audiences through authentic, story-driven content

My detective stories

For more than 20 years, I have been uncovering hidden historical stories across countries, generations, and histories.  I am the co-founder of a project about world-famous author Franz Kafka. In 2010 I founded a historical research project about a forgotten group of 80 Czech Jewish teenagers, who survived in Denmark thanks to foster families

My work combines the perspective of a journalist, historian, and curious traveller — uncovering stories that are original, authentic, and often unexpected.
