We asked expats and digital nomads what they appreciate the most about the local culture in Sri Lanka. They wrote...

"Friendliness of people and their willingness to help you at every turn. I was working in London and Latvia before and I was depressed then due to the fact that I did not find genuine people around me," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Colombo, Sri Lanka.

"Expats in Sri Lanka appreciate the country's rich cultural heritage, which is evident in its vibrant festivals, colorful traditional dress, and delicious cuisine. They also enjoy the warm hospitality of the locals, who are known for their friendliness and willingness to help. Additionally, expats appreciate the country's stunning natural beauty, with its lush jungles, stunning beaches, and majestic mountains. Finally, expats enjoy the country's relaxed pace of life, which allows them to take the time to explore and appreciate all that Sri Lanka has to offer," commented one expat who made the move to Sri Lanka.
