I'm a stranger in a strange land...with even stranger thoughts, worries, confusions and joys.

My name is Matt and I'm a recovering workaholic; a few years ago, I left a corporate position in the US and basically wiped my life's slate clean by dumping everything I owned and moving to Prague, Czech Republic. And it has been...interesting.

I've been here a couple of years now. I've traveled a lot and I've written quite a bit. To date, I've 'tried' to maintain a blog-type account of some of the odd things that occur to me as I find a new way in life - such as my struggles with Czech language, my fears and satisfactions and general observations of the world around me. It hasn't been either comprehensive or regular, so far, but I'll be changing that with a commitment to write at least 2x per week moving forward.

My plan is to maintain the blog on my website (www.matthewholmesauthor.com) and have it automatically feed here, but if that doesn't work, I'll just move the who procedure over to Goodreads.

In the meantime, please feel free to check out the linked blog entries from my website and root around on the site as well...perhaps you'll find something interesting there among local Prague information or in my free downloads sections.

As ever, enjoy life and smile earnestly at least once per day :-)

Warm regards to all and thanks for allowing me into your reading lives!

Matt
