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

"It is clean, people are more educated amongst south Asian people, nature is beautiful, weather is nice, great fruits and sea food," remarked another expat who made the move to Colombo, Sri Lanka.

"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," explained one expat living in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
