Michal nació en Praga y vive allí desde hace más de 30 años. Sus barrios favoritos son Brevnov y Hradcany. Aunque conoce mucho Praga, le encanta perderse allí e imaginar que es un turista. El secreto secreto y joya escondida de Michal es un pequeño bistró detrás del Puente de Carlos llamado ROESEL: cerveza artesanal y tarta.
