Life in Estonia for Foreigners | Ep05: Cost of living

Hello there, Welcome to the fifth episode of life in Estonia for foreigners, in this episode we will talk about the cost of living in Estonia.

6 years ago I moved from Pakistan to Estonia, and by far this has been the most rewarding and challenging experience of my life. In this series, I want to help other people who might be thinking of moving to Estonia or who have already been here and they are struggling to adjust.
