ANSWER: An entrepreneur. A tempo-setter. A folklorist. A podcaster.
Hailing from the metropolis of Toronto, Canada, Adam Daniel Mezei first set foot in the Czech lands in 2002 -- then permanently since the end of 2005 -- and hasn't looked back a day since. Based in Prague, he often goes by a variety of titles -- entrepreneur, tempo-setter, folklorist, podcaster. He is www.utterz.com's Central European Ambassador and host of "The Knowledge" at Expats.cz, a former weekly podcast whose guests have included prominent members of the Czech diplomatic and business community.
Having penned articles in the past for such notable expatriate publications like the Prague Post and Czech Business Weekly, Mezei is also the award-winning author of the British Czech and Slovak Association's (BCSA)'s 2006 Writer's Competition for his "Mayor Sulc's Astonishing 2010 Directive," a story which appeared in his latest anthology "We Are the New Bohemians: The Post-Communist Collection" and which is presently being adapted into a feature film. Mezei is also quite proud of his Czechoslovak roots. His father, Peter, is a native of Kosice, Slovakia, and Mezei often returns to the Eastern Slovakian city to visit with family and friends. While English is his mother tongue, Czech and Slovak are also favourite languages, and Spanish was a language he almost became fluent in during the early '90s, so please don't be shy.
