Juris is a Latvian expat who's been stuck in the Czech Republic for about five years now, thanks to a crazy redhead Czech woman and a few mystical forces working against him. He moved his entire life to Czech, specifically Ostrava, in 2016, when he and his wife welcomed a little human into their lives. A few years later, in 2020, when everything fell apart due to Covid, a new daughter decided to make their lives a bit more complicated. Read about his experiences since moving to the Czech Republic. Juris Sloka
