Gabriela, former teacher in Czechia now works an exploration geologist in Australia. This is her dream come true - at the age of 46 years she decided to follow her passion and completely change her life. Gabriela chose Australia, as geology here is still very much about exploring and adventure. “In Europe it has all been already discovered”, says Gabriela. It was not an easy path, but it was all well worth it. But Gabriela doesn´t like easy paths. She is also the first women to finish solo the Gibb River Bike Challenge. And in her free time, she teaches Czech at the Czech school in Perth.
