Ahoj! I’m Magdalena Novotná, a born-and-raised Czech woman with a passion for helping others navigate the intricacies of love and relationships in my beautiful homeland. As the founder of GirlWhoWrites.com, I’m here to share my expertise and personal experiences to help you find meaningful connections in the heart of Europe.
My Journey
Growing up in the picturesque town of Český Krumlov, I was surrounded by fairy-tale architecture and romantic atmosphere from an early age. This enchanting environment sparked my fascination with love stories and human connections. After earning my degree in Psychology from Charles University in Prague, I dedicated my career to understanding the unique dynamics of Czech dating culture.
For over a decade, I’ve worked as a relationship counselor, specializing in cross-cultural partnerships. I’ve witnessed firsthand the challenges and joys that come with dating in the Czech Republic, especially for those from different cultural backgrounds.
Why I Started This Blog
My journey as a dating expert took an unexpected turn when my best friend, an American expat, struggled to find genuine connections through online dating platforms. Watching her navigate the complexities of Czech dating culture – from decoding subtle social cues to understanding local relationship expectations – made me realize there was a significant gap in resources for both foreigners and locals alike.
This experience inspired me to create GirlWhoWrites.com, a comprehensive guide to dating in the Czech Republic. Here, I blend my professional expertise with personal anecdotes to provide you with authentic, practical advice on:
- Understanding Czech dating etiquette and social norms
- Navigating popular Czech dating apps and websites
- Recognizing cultural differences in relationships
- Building meaningful connections with Czech partners
- Avoiding common pitfalls and misconceptions
What Sets Me Apart
Unlike many dating experts, my approach is deeply rooted in both professional knowledge and lived experience. As a Czech woman who has dated both locally and internationally, I offer a unique perspective that bridges cultural gaps.
I’ve experienced the highs of falling in love in the shadow of Prague Castle and the lows of cultural misunderstandings in long-term relationships. These experiences, combined with my psychology background, allow me to offer nuanced, empathetic advice that goes beyond superficial dating tips.
My Mission
Through GirlWhoWrites.com, I aim to:
- Demystify Czech dating culture for foreigners
- Help Czech locals navigate the evolving world of modern dating
- Promote genuine, respectful cross-cultural relationships
- Share the beauty of Czech romance traditions with the world
Whether you’re a foreigner looking for love in the Czech Republic or a local seeking to expand your dating horizons, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
Držím palce! (I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you!)
