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 Somalia can be challenging due to the ongoing conflict and instability in the country. Despite this, there are a growing number of expats and digital nomads who are drawn to the country's unique culture and stunning landscapes. Expats and digital nomads in Somalia must be prepared to face the risks associated with living in a conflict zone, including the potential for violence and crime. Access to reliable internet and other basic services can be limited in some areas, making it difficult to work remotely. Despite these challenges, expats and digital nomads in Somalia can find a vibrant and welcoming community of locals and other expats who are eager to share their culture and experiences," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Somalia.
