Pros and Cons of Living in Congo

"Expats in Congo appreciate the warm hospitality of the local people, the vibrant culture and the beautiful landscapes. They also enjoy the diverse cuisine, the music and the art of the country. Additionally, they appreciate the strong sense of community and the strong family values that are so important in Congolese culture," explained one expat.

"Expats in Congo often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to, which can be challenging. Language barriers can be a challenge, as French is the official language and many locals do not speak English. Additionally, the local customs and traditions can be difficult to understand and navigate. Expats may also find the lack of infrastructure and resources to be a challenge, as well as the lack of reliable internet and phone services. Finally, the political and security situation in Congo can be unpredictable and dangerous, making it difficult for expats to feel safe and secure," said one person in Congo.
