Czech Couples Turn to Overseas Homes and Motorhome Lifestyle Amid Domestic Housing Crunch

Two Czech families have chosen alternative living arrangements in response to high housing costs at home. Tomáš and Daniela Haimrlovi sold their house, bought a motorhome and spent the next two years traveling across Europe with their children, staying three months in each country and keeping a small flat in the Czech Republic as a base.

Meanwhile, 31‑year‑old Lucie and her husband, frustrated by soaring Czech property prices, purchased a modest house on Spain’s coast for less than a typical Czech city apartment. Both work remotely, allowing the move without major career disruption, and see the relocation as a way to attain affordable home ownership and a slower pace of life.
