What is life like as an expat in your area?

Answer this Question

When we asked people living abroad what life is like in their areas and how people spend their time, they said...

"Living in Zurich as an expat or digital nomad can be an exciting and rewarding experience. The city is known for its high quality of life, with excellent public transportation, a vibrant cultural scene, and plenty of outdoor activities. Expats and digital nomads can enjoy the city's many parks, museums, and galleries, as well as its world-class restaurants and nightlife. Zurich is also a great place to work, with a strong economy and plenty of job opportunities. The cost of living is high, but the city offers a wide range of housing options, from affordable apartments to luxury homes. Expats and digital nomads can also take advantage of the city's excellent healthcare system and its many international schools," wrote a member who made the move to Zurich, Switzerland.
