What is life like as an expat in your area?

Answer this Question

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 London is vibrant and exciting. The city offers a wide range of cultural activities, from world-class museums and galleries to theatre and music. There is a diverse range of restaurants, bars, and pubs to explore, as well as plenty of green spaces to relax in. The city is well connected, with excellent public transport links, making it easy to get around. The cost of living can be high, but there are plenty of affordable options available. Expats and digital nomads in London can also benefit from the city's strong job market, with many opportunities for remote work," wrote a member who made the move to London, England.

"Life in London revolves around work. From my personal experience work is almost the only way to meet and become friends with people. This being if you find work at all, because is you are from overseas employers don't consider you competent enough despite of your flawless English and experience, so you start often at training level. However if you are a citizen of a common wealth country you are treated a little better. I find the English to be very funny, polite, organised and tolerant, but never embrasing. I find that different nationalitys and races live in harmony here but they often don't mix I feel people in London could be more open and friendly. I must say though, that as a gay man in my late 20's I could not ask for more entertainment alternatives and many are offered to the gay market, London is great like that. One last coment, my boyfriend is from New Zealand and our group of friends is formed only by expats, what a shame," explained one expat living in London, UK.
