How to Make the Best Out of Life in Prague with Steven Wilson
Steven Wilson is a paralegal and law student who grew up on a farm in Missouri and who has been living in Prague for six years. “I also do a bit of acting, but it’s very rare – only one job every year or so,” he says.
“I enjoy learning new skills such as cooking, dancing, and working out. Anything that keeps me active and healthy as I spend so much time at a desk, I really get restless. I also play video games with many friends of mine.”
Steven shares with us his secrets of finding happiness, purpose, and belonging in Prague that might inspire you on your own journey.
Making Friends and Finding Community in Prague
Before Steven settled down in Prague, he traveled for about eight years. “So I’ve always kept in touch with people online. A lot of my social life has been online out of necessity.”
“I do have some amazing friends in Prague, though, who love karaoke that I see semi-regularly.”
The karaoke Steven visits is popular among the Prague international crowd. KJ Scotty runs it every Tuesday night at the Brix Bar & Hostel. With a studio background, Scott uses many professional tools to give each singer an individualized experience, and you can feel like a pro!
Balancing Life and Finances in Prague
Steven is a computer enthusiast who loves to travel, “Building and upgrading my computer and traveling are my biggest expenses. I don’t travel often anymore, but when I do, I save up a lot of money to spend. Right now, I’m planning a trip to Sweden in a few weeks.”
He’s also a foodie and a big fan of home-cooked meals, “I save money by not going out to eat often, and I virtually never go out to bars. I cook most of my own food.”
The best place where to start when saving money is for some in their own kitchen. It might seem like a lot of work, but it’s fun and rewarding.
Finding Purpose and Fulfillment in Prague
When Steven wants to spend his time meaningfully, he turns to self-improvement and learning new things, “I’ve studied engineering, coding, business, a few languages, and law. I have two degrees – engineering and business, and I’m going into the last year of my law degree.”
“I find time to exercise and workout as well when I can.” To balance these pursuits, he spends a lot of time with his dog, Tai. “I relax by going for walks with her. The tranquility helps settle the chaos in my brain.”
Exploring Prague: Steven Wilson Recommends
“Vítkov park is quite a beautiful place, and I would highly recommend it, day or night. I never get tired of walking through it, even after doing so for so many years.”
It’s a great place for families to go. There are playgrounds for kids and picnic areas for both large groups and couples. And there are plenty of places to sit and relax, enjoying the sunshine or just taking in the view of Prague from above.
For an added bonus, there’s a bronze statue of Jan Žižka, who was a Hussite military commander. The statue is also one of the ten largest equestrian statues in the world.
