Official visit to Australia and New Zealand

This was the most demanding work trip I have undertaken with the President so far. Two weeks with very little sleep were exhausting, and by the final hours I was already counting down the time until our return.

At the same time, it was a journey that taught us a lot as a team. Last-minute program changes and the intensity of working and travelling together for such a long time ultimately made us stronger.

From a photographic perspective, the trip offered visually striking settings. Alongside official meetings and business forums, we visited several national parks, met Slovak communities in Sydney and Wellington, and travelled into the interior of New Zealand to visit the ceramics studio of Mirko Smíšek.

A demanding but rewarding experience that I would gladly repeat.
