Let me just say it upfront: if you are in Czechia, you cannot miss visiting Český Krumlov. In fact, I would go so far to say that you could even skip some of the overrated tourist destinations in Prague for more than just an idyllic day in this gorgeous south Bohemian city (and UNESCO World Heritage site!) instead.

Now let’s be real for a second here. As a 90s kid growing up on a steady diet of romantic Yash Chopra movies that featured a heroine running in slow motion through a picturesque landscape with her saree’s pallu flying in the wind behind, while her hero waits with open arms (bonfire in the snow OR a meadow of yellow flowers, optional), I was no stranger to the almost dreamlike quality of being “in Europe” …

“Some things are hard to write about. After something happens to you, you go to write it down, and either you over dramatize it, or underplay it, exaggerate the wrong parts or ignore the important ones.
