Why We Started This Community
Both Kristýna and Linda have experienced the ups and downs of living abroad. In Paris and Oxford, they struggled with the same questions many expat women face: How do I make real connections with locals? Is this behavior a cultural difference or a red flag? How can I feel more at home in this new country?We wished for a community that could offer not only practical advice but also genuine friendships and support from local women. Now, we are creating that space for you in Czechia.Join us and become part of a warm, welcoming network where you can build friendships, gain cultural confidence, and truly experience life in Czechia.
