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 Manila is generally quite enjoyable. The city is vibrant and full of life, with plenty of opportunities for socializing and networking. The cost of living is relatively low, making it an attractive destination for those looking to stretch their budget. The city is also well-connected, with a reliable public transportation system and plenty of options for getting around. The climate is tropical, with hot and humid summers and mild winters. The people are friendly and welcoming, making it easy to settle in and make friends. Overall, Manila is an excellent destination for expats and digital nomads looking for an exciting and affordable place to live," remarked another expat who made the move to Manila, Philippines.
"Hmmm, locals love their shopping malls. Weekends are busier than the weekdays. "Gimmicks" are popular on Friday or Saturday night, typically in Manila, Eastwood Libis or Makati. This can be any form of going out with friends, but Manilenos love a drink ;-)," explained one expat living in Manila, Philippines.
