About Me

Hi Iโ€™m Rhianna, a solo traveller from Wales looking to spend a month in Prague after falling in love with the city on my travels. I love live music and jams, I sing so I enjoy expressing myself through performance but also listening and moving to other musicians. I like meeting people in the places I travel to get a real feel for the city and culture. I love to cook and would be happy to cook for you if I came to stay :)

Solo travel experience

Visited Wales for the first time this year. Only got to see Cardiff, but I loved it so much more than I thought I would. I was also shocked at how affordable it was compared to a lot of other places, especially coming from London.
