Insider Tips from Expats in Hamilton: Making the Most of Life and Connections

"Women should join the Internation American Women's Club. It isn't just for Americans, and has members from all over the globe, mostly Americans, Brits and Canadians, and some Bermudians. And excellent way of meeting other women and finding out about everything you need to know in order to live on this surprisingly challenging (if beautiful) island. There is also a British Wives group. My advice - take it slowly and don't say anything to anyone you wouldn't want them to repeat," said one expat living in Hamilton.

"Defintely not the American Women's Club, they have stopped taking newcomers, don't even advertise any more. Best bet would be church, a sports activity or volunteering," wrote a member in Hamilton.

"Golf is a major way of meeting new people on this island as there an abundance of clubs, but be warned, they are expensive if you plan on making yourself a member of one. Otherwise, there is beach volleyball on Elbow Beach, or various other sports like running clubs etc. If you're not into sport, and are male, or a brave female, just turn up at The Hamilton Princess on Friday evenings in summer and get yourself a drink at Happy Hour prices and join the drunken crowds that populate that place. You'll soon meet new friends, only they may not remember meeting you the next day," commented one expat who made the move to Hamilton.

"I came to Bermuda with my wife and our two young daughters. I was working a lot although my wife started socializing through the MAMA group in which she made few very good friends," remarked one expat living in Hamilton.

"Expats in Hamilton often join clubs and activities such as sailing, golf, tennis, and cricket. Expats can also join local organizations such as the Bermuda National Trust, the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute, and the Bermuda National Gallery. Additionally, expats can meet people by attending local events such as the Bermuda Music Festival, the Bermuda International Film Festival, and the Bermuda Triangle Challenge. Expats can also meet people by attending local churches, joining a book club, or attending a language exchange," wrote one member in Hamilton.

"Life revolves around the company you work for primarily, and the friends you make there through social events. Secondly sports associations (squash, golf etc.) and for ladies the American Women's Club and its events," commented an expat living in Hamilton.

"I found family, religion and social events to be a very high priority to most people. Also, in this country where the cost of living is extremely high, finances (money) is also a priority to many people. Many Bermudians work two or three different jobs to make ends meet and to afford a house. I also found public holidays to be very important social and family events, especially Cup Match (2 day at the end of July, start of August). This one is probably more important than Christmas/NYE," said an expat in Hamilton.

"Life for expats and digital nomads in Hamilton is a unique experience. The city is a vibrant and bustling hub of activity, with plenty of opportunities for work, leisure, and exploration. The city is known for its stunning beaches, crystal clear waters, and lush tropical vegetation. Expats and digital nomads can enjoy the laid-back atmosphere of the city, as well as the convenience of modern amenities. The cost of living is relatively low, and the city is well-connected to the rest of the world, making it an ideal destination for those looking to work remotely. The locals are friendly and welcoming, and the city is a great place to make new friends and explore the culture," remarked one expat who made the move to Hamilton.
