Prague Travel Meetup is a relaxed get-together for people who love traveling and exploring the world. It’s a place to meet like-minded people who understand the urge to pack up, head abroad, and see where the road takes you without a return ticket. The idea is simple: grab a drink, share travel stories, exchange tips, and talk about the places we’ve been and the ones still on our list. It’s also a great way to find people to explore Prague, the Czech Republic, or plan future adventures together. We also have a fun travel quiz prepared for all travel enthusiasts. Let’s see who really knows their countries and who has the fastest fingers! For those who want to go a bit deeper, there is also space for longer, more structured presentations. If you feel like sharing a bigger travel story, an adventure, or a unique experience, let us know and we can schedule time for it. Everyone is welcome: travelers, locals, expats, digital nomads, travel professionals, and anyone curious about the world. Got questions or ideas? Feel free to contact us. We’re always open to suggestions!

Ahoj, s přicházejícím jarem, pojďme se zase projít. Tentokrát okouknem Kavky a Vyšehrad. Půjdeme lehce svižněji, abychom nepřimrzli. Trasa má ca 5km, tak nám zabere kousek přes hodinku. Uvidíme modernu, Central Park, neobjevená místa i Vyšehrad. Na konci nás čeká příjemná kavárna s francouzským šarmem. Sejdeme se venku nalevo od vstupu do Arkád (z metra C Pankrác) před kavárnou Starbucks. Část trasy je trošku off-road, tak lepší budou turistické botky. Prosím, přijďte včas. Hello, with the spring approaching, lets go for another stroll. This time lets discover Kavky and Vyšehrad. We will walk demi-fast so that we dont freeze. The walk is 5km so it will take us a bit over an hour. We will see the modern buildings, Central Park (yes!), hidden places as well as Vyšehrad. Our journey will finish in a pleasant coffee shop with a very french charm. The meeting point is outside on the left of the main entrance to Arkády (coming from the undeground C Pankrác) in front of the Starbucks. Part of the walk will be little bit off the road, so comfy walking shoes are necessary. Please be on time.

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).

That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 1:30 - 2:00, followed by dancing 2:00 - 430. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner.
