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 Popayan is generally peaceful and relaxed. The city is known for its beautiful white colonial architecture and its warm, welcoming locals. The cost of living is relatively low, making it an attractive destination for those looking to live comfortably on a budget. The city offers a variety of local and international cuisines, and there are plenty of cafes and co-working spaces for digital nomads to work from. The internet connection is generally reliable, although it may not be as fast as in some larger cities. The city is also surrounded by stunning natural beauty, offering plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities. Despite being a smaller city, Popayan has a vibrant cultural scene, with numerous festivals and events throughout the year. However, it's worth noting that English is not widely spoken, so learning some Spanish would be beneficial. Overall, Popayan offers a laid-back lifestyle with a rich cultural experience," said another expat in Popayan, Colombia.
