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 Jarabacoa, Dominican Republic, is a unique blend of tranquility and adventure. The town is nestled in the mountains, providing a cooler climate than most of the country, which is a welcome relief for many. The natural beauty of the area, with its rivers, waterfalls, and lush green landscapes, offers plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, horseback riding, and white-water rafting. The local community is friendly and welcoming, making it easy for expats and digital nomads to feel at home. Spanish is the primary language spoken, but English is also understood in many places, especially in businesses catering to tourists. The cost of living is relatively low, with affordable housing options and inexpensive local food. The town has a laid-back vibe, but it also has a vibrant social scene with local festivals, music events, and a variety of restaurants and bars. For digital nomads, the internet connectivity is generally reliable, and there are several cafes and coworking spaces that cater to remote workers. Healthcare facilities in Jarabacoa are adequate for basic needs, but for more serious conditions, one might need to travel to larger cities. Public transportation is available, but many expats choose to rent or buy a car for more convenience. Overall, life in Jarabacoa offers a balance of work and play, with the chance to immerse oneself in Dominican culture while enjoying the benefits of a digital nomad lifestyle," wrote a member who made the move to Jarabacoa, the Dominican Republic.
