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 Panajachel is generally quite pleasant. The town is situated on the shores of Lake Atitlan, offering stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. The cost of living is low, making it an attractive destination for those looking to stretch their budget. The locals are friendly and welcoming, and the town is well-connected to other parts of Guatemala, making it easy to explore the country. There is a vibrant expat community in Panajachel, with plenty of opportunities to meet other like-minded people. The town also offers a range of activities, from hiking and kayaking to exploring the local markets and enjoying the local cuisine. All in all, Panajachel is an ideal destination for expats and digital nomads looking for a peaceful and affordable place to live," wrote a member who made the move to Panajachel, Guatemala.
