In this episode I talk about the following things which you need to consider before and after you plan and then move to Prague. Mail and cell phonesOnline and phone apps and securityBanking suggestionsMedical/medicine considerationsFinding housingDriving Online entertainment and shopping issuesMiscellaneous items: power adaptors/converters and the Czech language.Please note that I only briefly touch on things like moving your family or pets and visa and work permit related items. The former because I don't have any practical advice since I didn't move my family or any pets and the later because getting "legal" in the Czech Republic will be an entire episode by itself.As always, you can leave comments or on Spotify or Apple Podcasts and if you like the show, a review would be most helpful.
