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...

"Priorities generally revolve around the work, though once admitted to society, home dinners, resturants, other gatherings or trips to mountain or beach are encountered. Family is very important to locals and consider it a priviledge to be invited to family homes/gatherings. Many Haitians have very large and extended families of aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.....it is not uncommon to meet new person that is related in some fashion to another Haitian you have met. Socializing is generally out to resturants, or if you are invited to a home, large meals and wine or cocktails are the norm. Sports are favored by many, with soccer/football (Haiti has an international soccer/football team) being the largest by far, though Haiti does like basketball, Boxing (Haiti does have ranked boxers)and many other common sports are recognized and enjoyed here," commented one expat who made the move to Petion-ville, Haiti.

"Life for expats and digital nomads in Haiti can be both rewarding and challenging. The country is full of culture and history, and the people are friendly and welcoming. However, the infrastructure is not as developed as in other countries, and the cost of living is relatively high. Expats and digital nomads may find it difficult to access reliable internet and other services, and the language barrier can be a challenge. Despite these difficulties, many expats and digital nomads find Haiti to be an exciting and rewarding place to live and work," remarked another expat in Haiti.
