Johannesburg, South Africa
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 Johannesburg is generally quite pleasant. The city is a vibrant and exciting place to live, with plenty of cultural attractions, great restaurants, and a lively nightlife. The cost of living is relatively low, making it an attractive destination for those looking to stretch their budget. The city is also well-connected, with excellent public transport and a reliable internet connection. Expats and digital nomads can find plenty of coworking spaces and cafes to work from, as well as a wide range of accommodation options. The city is also home to a diverse population, making it a great place to meet people from all over the world," said another expat in Johannesburg, South Africa.
"Work seems to be the general feel of Johannesburg..... accented with lots of holidays during the 'festive' season (Dec & Jan). People are quite social on the weekends and plan large all day 'braiis' (barbeques) with loads of families and loads of food and drink. Going to the 'bush' is also important when one can take the time," wrote a member who made the move to Johannesburg, South Africa.
