Setting sail on your new journey alone can be exhilarating and is one of the best ways to do something new in your life. But that doesn’t mean you can’t get a bit of help from others. Your new home can be scary and difficult to understand, any state administration is impenetrable at the best of times, and even the most ascetic of digital nomads will yearn for some human interaction from time to time. So with that said, here are some of the best digital nomad groups in Prague, both online and offline.
Offline digital nomad groups in Prague
Offline digital nomad groups are great for when you need to have some actual face-to-face contact. This is great for curing loneliness and can give you a ton of new friendships. A great place to start is the Prague Digital Nomads Meetup which takes place every Thursday between 19:00 and 22:00 in the Coffice café in Vinohrady. The group isn’t large, but that only makes it better, since you’ll have more of a chance to actually talk to someone. Also happening at Coffice is the Bla Bla language exchange where you can practice whatever level of Czech you have with other visitors to the Czech Republic.
But socializing isn’t just good for your happiness. It can also do wonders for your career. Everything from coworking to networking and learning about how to best deal with difficult situations along your digital nomad journey can help you have a better working experience.
A place to start with all that is the Jelly! co-working space. Once a month, they open their doors to digital nomads, remote workers, and other location-independent professionals who want to meet like-minded people. Jelly also has other events open to the general public such as their occasional group lunch or Beer Fridays. So there’s tons to do and lots of people to meet. You should also sign up for the welcome kit from digitalnomadprague.com which does events, has some useful information about the town, and can point you to more socializing.
Online digital nomad groups in Prague
Online groups can be a wonderful source of information. While websites like us can give you a lot of information, sometimes you just need to know what it’s like to truly live in Prague for a few months or years and online groups can really help with that.
While there is the Prague Digital Nomads Facebook group, it is very small and not very active. You’ll be better off joining Facebook groups like EXPATS in PRAGUE and Expats World in Prague. Both of these together have over twenty thousand members and are very active. You can find people who are looking for Czech lessons, accommodation, job opportunities, and friends, and who post questions you yourself might be wondering. It’s also a great place to find what’s happening in Prague right now, as people often post invitations to fun gigs, exhibitions, and trips. Overall, the digital nomad community lives together with all the other expats and reap many benefits from it - and you should too.
