#110 Screw the System: How Hilary Moved to Prague, Got Her Master’s (Basically) Free, and Ditched the 9–5 for Good


Listen Later

If you’ve ever dreamed of living in Europe but felt overwhelmed by the logistics—this episode is for you.

I’m joined by Hilary, a longtime member of the Freedom Life team and multi-passionate freelancer who moved to Prague for grad school and never looked back. From getting her visa after arrival (yes, there was a last-minute flight to Brussels) to building a life with multiple income streams and a tight-knit community, Hillary shares what it actually looks like to build a life abroad that works for you.

This is a must-listen if you’re:

  • Curious about Prague or the Czech Republic as a move abroad destination
  • Wondering how to legally work part-time on the ground abroad while freelancing
  • Considering going back to school overseas to make your move happen
  • Feeling overwhelmed by the logistics and want real talk from someone who’s done it

In this episode, we cover:

  • Hilary’s affordable master’s program—and how she got most of it paid for!
  • Living in Spain vs. Prague: the pros, the cons, and the real talk
  • How she built multiple income streams that allow her to stay abroad long-term
  • Making friends abroad (and how to crack the code with locals)
  • Why a job that “looks good on paper” isn’t always worth it

Whether you're in research mode or ready to pack your bags, Hilary's story is full of insights, strategy, and encouragement for anyone who wants to stop dreaming and start doing.

Tune in and learn how to make your move abroad possible—on your terms.
