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 Braga is generally relaxed and enjoyable. The city offers a rich history, beautiful architecture, and a vibrant cultural scene. The cost of living is relatively low compared to other European cities, making it an attractive place for those working remotely. The city is also known for its friendly locals, who are welcoming to foreigners and often speak English, making it easier for expats to settle in. Braga has a warm climate, with mild winters and hot summers, which is perfect for those who enjoy outdoor activities. The city is surrounded by stunning natural beauty, including mountains and beaches, providing plenty of opportunities for hiking, surfing, and other outdoor pursuits. The city has a good infrastructure, with reliable internet, making it suitable for digital nomads. There are also several coworking spaces available for those who prefer to work in a communal environment. The food in Braga is delicious, with a variety of local and international cuisines available. The city also has a lively nightlife, with numerous bars and clubs for those who enjoy socializing. Despite its many advantages, there can be challenges for expats and digital nomads living in Braga. The pace of life is slower than in many other cities, which can take some getting used to. Additionally, while many locals speak English, all official documents are in Portuguese, which can be a barrier for those who do not speak the language. Overall, Braga offers a high quality of life for expats and digital nomads, with a low cost of living, a friendly local community, and a beautiful environment to explore," commented one expat who made the move to Braga, Portugal.
