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...
"Living as an expat or digital nomad in India can be quite a rewarding experience. With its vibrant culture, bustling cities and mesmerizing landscapes, India offers a lot to explore and experience. Accommodations are generally affordable, making it relatively easy to find a comfortable place to live. Expats and digital nomads enjoy having access to a wide variety of delicious cuisines and frequent opportunities to travel and explore. While obstacles such as language barriers may present challenges, with perseverance and a bit of effort, it is possible to adjust to living in India. Connecting with the local community, making an effort to participate in traditions and festivals can make the transition much smoother and more enjoyable," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to India.
"For the working partner, life revolves around work and related socalizing. However, there is plenty to do in terms of sport clubs, Movie Clubs, Toast Masters Club, etc..," commented one expat who made the move to Pune, India.
