"Life for expats and digital nomads in San Andres Island is a unique blend of Caribbean charm and Latin American culture. The island offers a relaxed lifestyle with beautiful beaches, clear turquoise waters, and a vibrant nightlife. The cost of living is relatively low compared to other Caribbean islands, making it an attractive destination for those looking to live abroad. The local community is friendly and welcoming, with a mix of Spanish, English, and Creole spoken, making it easier for expats to communicate and integrate. The island has a good internet connection, which is essential for digital nomads. There are also several coworking spaces available for those who prefer a more structured work environment. The food in San Andres is a delicious mix of Colombian and Caribbean cuisine, with plenty of fresh seafood. The island also offers a variety of outdoor activities such as snorkeling, diving, and hiking, providing plenty of opportunities for expats and digital nomads to enjoy their leisure time. Healthcare facilities on the island are adequate for basic needs, but for more serious conditions, one might need to travel to the mainland. Public transportation is limited, so many expats choose to rent or buy a scooter or bicycle to get around. Despite its small size, San Andres Island has a lively expat community, with plenty of social events and activities to participate in. Overall, life for expats and digital nomads in San Andres Island is laid-back, affordable, and full of opportunities for adventure and cultural immersion," explained one expat living in San Andres Island, Colombia.
