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 San Juan is generally relaxed and comfortable. The city offers a mix of urban conveniences and natural beauty, with its modern shopping centers, restaurants, and close proximity to beautiful beaches. The cost of living is relatively low compared to Western countries, making it an attractive destination for those who work remotely. The local community is friendly and welcoming, with many locals speaking English, making it easier for expats to communicate and integrate. The city also has a vibrant expat community, providing opportunities for socializing and networking. San Juan is known for its reliable internet connection, which is crucial for digital nomads. There are numerous co-working spaces, cafes, and accommodations that cater to the needs of remote workers. The city also offers a variety of recreational activities. From surfing at the famous La Union beach to exploring local markets and historical sites, there's always something to do during downtime. However, like any other place, it also has its challenges. The tropical climate can be hot and humid, and during the rainy season, typhoons can occur. Traffic can also be heavy at times, and while healthcare is generally good, it may not be up to the standards some Western expats are used to. Despite these, many expats and digital nomads find living in San Juan a rewarding and enjoyable experience, offering a good balance between work and leisure," explained one expat living in San Juan, Philippines.
