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 Cartagena is vibrant and exciting, with a rich culture and history to explore. The city is known for its beautiful colonial architecture, lively music scene, and delicious local cuisine. The cost of living is relatively low, making it an attractive destination for those looking to live and work abroad. The city is also quite modern, with reliable internet and plenty of coworking spaces, making it easy for digital nomads to work. The locals are friendly and welcoming, and while Spanish is the main language, English is also widely spoken, especially in the tourist areas. The weather in Cartagena is tropical, with warm temperatures year-round, perfect for those who enjoy the heat. The city is also located on the Caribbean coast, offering beautiful beaches and a variety of water sports. Despite its many advantages, life in Cartagena also has its challenges. The city can be quite crowded, especially during peak tourist season, and traffic can be heavy. Safety can also be a concern, especially at night, and it's important for expats and digital nomads to take precautions and stay aware of their surroundings. Overall, life for expats and digital nomads in Cartagena offers a unique blend of cultural immersion, adventure, and the opportunity to enjoy a relaxed lifestyle in a beautiful setting," remarked another expat who made the move to Cartagena, Colombia.
