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...

"Life for expats and digital nomads in Consejo is generally laid-back and relaxed, with a slower pace of life compared to many Western countries. The local community is welcoming and friendly, making it easy for newcomers to integrate and make friends. The cost of living is relatively low, allowing for a comfortable lifestyle even on a modest income. The natural beauty of Consejo, with its stunning beaches and lush greenery, provides plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, swimming, and fishing. The climate is tropical, with warm temperatures year-round, which is a major draw for many expats and digital nomads. English is the official language of Belize, making it easy for English-speaking expats and digital nomads to communicate with locals and navigate daily life. However, Spanish is also widely spoken, and learning a few basic phrases can enhance the cultural experience. For digital nomads, the internet connectivity in Consejo can be a challenge. While it is generally reliable in the town itself, it can be less so in more remote areas. Therefore, it's important for digital nomads to have a backup plan in case of connectivity issues. Healthcare in Consejo is adequate for basic needs, but for more serious conditions, expats may need to travel to larger cities or even out of the country. It's recommended that expats and digital nomads have comprehensive health insurance. The food in Consejo is a blend of local and international cuisines, with plenty of fresh seafood and tropical fruits. There are also several grocery stores where expats can find familiar products from home. Overall, life in Consejo for expats and digital nomads offers a unique blend of natural beauty, cultural immersion, and a relaxed lifestyle. However, it's important to be prepared for the challenges that come with living in a developing country, such as occasional power outages and limited healthcare facilities," wrote a member who made the move to Consejo, Belize.
