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 Dordogne is often described as peaceful and idyllic. The region is known for its beautiful landscapes, charming villages, and rich history, providing a serene backdrop for those working remotely. The cost of living is relatively low compared to larger French cities, making it an attractive option for those looking to stretch their budget further. The pace of life in Dordogne is slower than in urban areas, allowing expats and digital nomads to enjoy a more relaxed lifestyle. The region is famous for its gastronomy, with plenty of opportunities to sample local wines, cheeses, and other delicacies. There are also numerous outdoor activities available, such as hiking, cycling, and canoeing, providing a great work-life balance. While the local population is generally friendly and welcoming, the language barrier can be a challenge for some. Although English is spoken in tourist areas, it's less common in rural parts, so learning some basic French can be beneficial. The region has a strong expat community, providing opportunities for socializing and networking. There are also various cultural events throughout the year, allowing expats and digital nomads to immerse themselves in the local culture. Internet connectivity in Dordogne is generally good, especially in larger towns, making it suitable for remote work. However, those based in more rural areas may experience slower speeds or less reliable connections. Overall, Dordogne offers a unique blend of tranquility, culture, and affordability, making it an appealing destination for expats and digital nomads," wrote a member who made the move to Dordogne, France.
