Lone Rider in Scandinavia – Nordkapp and other Norwegian pitfalls

15. 7. 2025 / Pavel Dvořák, Head of IT Support in the Digital Team at Aricoma

In 2019, I dusted off my long-held dream of seeing Europe's northernmost road, the legendary Nordkapp. Unfortunately, I had very little time for vacation, so I didn't even tell anyone else, as I wouldn't dare force anyone to grind away most of the days. So I decided to treat the journey as the destination and enjoy the ride itself rather than the experiences in the surrounding area. At the same time, I was tempted to clear my head a little and rely only on myself and my machine along the way. I had never done a solo trip like this before, and you have to try everything, right?

The need to adapt, to deal with server and database capacity, to scale. When you say charity, you don't associate any of those words with it. But David Procházka, the founder of Donio, the largest and well-known donation platform in the Czech Republic, doesn't tend to think that way.

He and his team have managed to solve old problems much more efficiently using new tools.

Around the world on a motorbike in 606 days

65,000 kilometres, 22 countries and 606 days. In 2016, motorcyclist and traveller Vojta Lavický set off with his then-girlfriend on the trip of a lifetime around the world. Thanks to this, he saw with his own eyes the remote villages of Peru and Huascarán National Park, the yurt pastures and wild horses of Kyrgyzstan or the Mongolian lunar-like landscape. The trip showed him many times that even bad things are good for something in the end and that the most important thing about travelling is to have the courage to actually go.

In time we will also protect AI works, but it still takes evolution

New technology has arrived and with it a lot of new questions. How many times have you experienced this? Lawyer Petra Dolejšová has done it many times, and right now she is dealing with almost nothing but the legal aspects of using artificial intelligence. "We revolve around questions of who owns the output from AI, whether it is possible to generate images of specific people and whether you can use styles such as of the painter Mucha or heroes from Marvel movies. All of this is legally quite clear, but it turns out that people are still grasping the essence of copyright law," muses the expert, who believes we have much bigger thinking to do - who do we "pin" responsibility to for any potential transgressions of technology.
