What is life like as an expat in your area?

"Life for expats and digital nomads in Sarteneja is a unique blend of tranquility and adventure. The village is known for its laid-back lifestyle, friendly locals, and beautiful natural surroundings, making it an ideal place for those seeking a slower pace of life. Expats and digital nomads can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, such as fishing, snorkeling, and exploring the nearby wildlife reserves. The cost of living in Sarteneja is relatively low compared to many Western countries, making it an attractive option for those working remotely. However, it's important to note that while the cost of living is low, so are the local wages, so it's best suited to those who have a steady income from abroad. The local cuisine is a delicious mix of Belizean and Mayan dishes, with plenty of fresh seafood and tropical fruits. There are also a few restaurants and bars in the village where expats can socialize and meet new people. Internet connectivity in Sarteneja is generally reliable, but it may not be as fast or consistent as in larger cities. Therefore, digital nomads should be prepared for occasional connectivity issues. While English is the official language of Belize, Spanish and Creole are also widely spoken in Sarteneja. Therefore, learning some basic phrases in these languages can be beneficial for expats and digital nomads. Healthcare facilities in Sarteneja are basic, so for serious medical issues, expats may need to travel to larger cities. It's recommended that expats and digital nomads have comprehensive health insurance that covers medical evacuation. Overall, life in Sarteneja offers a unique opportunity for expats and digital nomads to immerse themselves in a vibrant, welcoming community, surrounded by stunning natural beauty," commented one expat who made the move to Sarteneja, Belize.
