In addition to her love of travel, she had a deep passion for food and all things food-related. She hailed from a picturesque Moravian village surrounded by vineyards.

Michaela Bergmannova is an illustrator from Czechia. A graduate of the Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague, she worked with Czech Television on several children's shows.
