I had been all over Europe but never to the Czech Republic. I was accompanied by one of my submissives. I advertised in the "travel together" section of the OWK's web page and received well over 30 responses. I therefore screened everyone very carefully, and met one gentleman that seemed compatible. He flew to my location in the US to meet and get to know me. I made my decision when I was assured that we were compatible. We arrived via Czech airlines the day after we departed the US due to the time difference. Our driver wasn't there when we arrived, so we rented a car and drove the 2.5 hours. There was no one there that I knew when we first arrived. A couple from Germany came later in the week that was extremely pleasant. At that time, I knew not one bit of the Czech language and they knew no English. One of the Guardesses was so cute as she blurted out "you are so American." That was due to my southern accent. Nothing substantial happened that visit except I gained peace and contentment. I had lost my Mom shortly before this trip and OWK provided me with the comfort and peace I needed. I have been there six other times. It is my safe haven. I love the peace and beauty of OWK, the staff, the Queen and the small villages which surround it. I feel it's a very healing place.

My next trip was to one of their celebrations. There are hundreds of Dominants who attend the Celebration. Dominant women from the Czech Republic, Austria, Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Spain, Holland, France, Greece, Sweden, England and the US attend these celebrations.”

My own fascination with The Other World Kingdom made me inquire into their origin. Is it truly operated by women just as their website proclaims? Lady Anai set the record straight.

“One thing I want to make clearly understood is that OWK is totally owned and operated by Dominant women. This place was started by one extremely smart cookie, and that is Queen Patricia. She took the ruins of a Kingdom from when the Russians let it go to squander and made it into what it is today. She's sincere about her endeavors and she has done one hell of a job doing it. I'm far from dumb and certainly a good businesswoman, but I could never pull off what she has done. The Other World Kingdom is a gated kingdom, which is referred to by many there in the Czech Republic as the Black City or The Black Kingdom. It is a gated city within itself. Once you are in the gates, the world shuts down around you and you can be who or what you want to be. I simply breathe a great sigh of relief whenever I know those gates are shut. It is operated solely by the Queen and her staff. The Czech government DOES NOT interfere.
