What is life like as an expat in your area?
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 San Pedro is often described as relaxed and laid-back, with a slow pace of life that many find appealing. The town is known for its friendly locals, beautiful beaches, and vibrant nightlife, offering a variety of activities for those who choose to live there. The cost of living is relatively low compared to many Western countries, making it an attractive option for those looking to stretch their budget. The local cuisine is a mix of Caribbean and Central American flavors, with plenty of fresh seafood and tropical fruits available. English is widely spoken in Belize, making it easier for expats and digital nomads to communicate and integrate into the local community. However, while the lifestyle may be relaxed, the infrastructure can be a challenge. Internet connectivity can be unreliable, which can be a significant issue for digital nomads who rely on it for their work. Power outages can also be common, particularly during the rainy season. Despite these challenges, many expats and digital nomads find the laid-back lifestyle, friendly community, and beautiful surroundings make San Pedro a great place to live. Whether it's exploring the nearby Great Blue Hole, enjoying a beach barbecue, or simply watching the sunset over the Caribbean, there's plenty to enjoy in this tropical paradise," remarked another expat who made the move to San Pedro, Belize.
