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 Puerto Rico is a blend of cultural immersion, natural beauty, and a slower pace of life. The cost of living is relatively low, making it an attractive destination for those who work remotely. The locals are friendly and welcoming, and there is a strong sense of community among the expat population. The country's diverse landscape, from the beaches to the mountains, offers plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities. The food is fresh and flavorful, with a variety of fruits, vegetables, and seafood readily available. Internet connectivity can be a challenge in some areas, but in larger cities and towns, it is generally reliable. Spanish is the official language, so learning at least basic Spanish can greatly enhance the experience. Healthcare is affordable and of good quality, especially in larger cities. Public transportation is widely available and inexpensive, although many expats choose to buy a car for convenience. The climate is tropical and warm year-round, which can be a big draw for those coming from colder climates. However, it can also be humid, and some may find the heat uncomfortable. Overall, life for expats and digital nomads in Puerto Rico, Ecuador is relaxed and enjoyable, with a good balance of work and leisure," wrote a member who made the move to Puerto Rico, Ecuador.
