Episode 10: Maria from Ukraine

from Xuxu - The Prague Expat Podcast · host Carejemargaux

What does it really take to rebuild your life in a new country—and even create a community from scratch?In this episode, Maria shares her journey of arriving in Prague alone, without ever having visited the city before, after years of moving across countries. We talk about the emotional reality of immigration: the excitement, the fear, the exhaustion, and the moment you realize that “arriving” is only the beginning.Maria opens up about her integration process in Prague, learning the language, finding her footing, and the importance of building a support system. That search led her to football—something she only started playing at 22—and eventually to founding Roving Cobras, a women’s football club in Prague created as a safe, non-judgmental space for beginners and expats.
