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 Israel is generally quite pleasant. The country is known for its vibrant culture, delicious food, and stunning landscapes. Expats and digital nomads can find plenty of opportunities to explore the country's many attractions, from its ancient cities to its modern metropolises. The cost of living is relatively low, and the country is home to a large number of tech startups, making it an attractive destination for digital nomads. The country is also known for its welcoming attitude towards foreigners, making it a great place to settle down and make new friends," said another expat in Israel.
"60% of the population is very religious and places close on Sabath (on Friday around 3 pm till Saturday's sunset). You may not be able to find a grocery store that is open around this time, so buy food before Sabath," wrote a member who made the move to Jerusalem, Israel.
