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 Contadora Island, is often described as tranquil and relaxed, with a slow pace of life that allows for plenty of leisure time. The island is known for its beautiful beaches, clear waters, and abundant wildlife, providing plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities such as snorkeling, fishing, and bird watching. The local community is small but welcoming, with a mix of locals and expats from various countries. While the island is relatively remote, it is well-connected with regular ferry and flight services to Panama City, making it easy for expats and digital nomads to access amenities and services not available on the island. The cost of living is higher than in mainland Panama due to the island's remote location and reliance on imported goods. For digital nomads, reliable internet access can be a challenge, as the island's infrastructure is not as developed as in larger cities. However, many find the peaceful environment conducive to productivity. Spanish is the main language spoken, but English is also widely understood due to the island's popularity with tourists. Overall, Contadora Island offers a unique lifestyle for expats and digital nomads, combining natural beauty with a laid-back, island lifestyle," explained one expat living in Contadora Island, Panama.
