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 here definately revolves around family and friends. Socializing is a big part of Argentine life. Siestas offer families and friends the opportunity to eat together and you'll still see families wandering the streets for an ice cream at 1 in the morning. Sport plays a heavy part in life here, cycling is very popular as are sporting events like Triathlons. Rafting, kayaking, and hiking attract lots of people at weekends. There are also a speedway track and motor racing track, which get a lot of use. There are a number of museums in town along with a cinema and outdoor theatre," remarked another expat who made the move to San Rafael, Argentina.
"San Rafael is a great destination for expats and digital nomads looking for a peaceful and laid-back lifestyle. The city is surrounded by stunning mountain ranges and vineyards, making it a great place to relax and enjoy the outdoors. The cost of living is relatively low, making it an affordable place to live.
