Episode Synopsis

Some Czechs have a lifelong fascination with America — and Zdeněk Jurásek is one of them. The president of the Czech Route 66 Association first cycled the legendary road from Chicago to Santa Monica in 1998 and has since done it dozens of times, even if mostly by car. In this episode of Czechia in 30 Minutes, he talks about why Route 66 became his American dream — and how it still inspires Czechs today.
