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...

"Living in Batam as an expat or digital nomad can be an exciting and rewarding experience. The city is known for its low cost of living, making it an attractive destination for those looking to stretch their budget. The city is also home to a diverse range of cultures, making it a great place to meet people from all over the world. The city is well connected with ferry services to Singapore and Malaysia, making it easy to explore the region. The city also offers a variety of activities, from shopping and dining to outdoor activities such as hiking and water sports. With its friendly locals, vibrant culture, and low cost of living, Batam is an ideal destination for expats and digital nomads," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Batam, Indonesia.

"Everyone revolves around work. All the large manufacturing companies have compounds outside of the city where their people live. Interaction is difficult with everyone all spread out. For the nationals, this is such a transitional city. People come for two years of work then go home," commented one expat who made the move to Batam, Indonesia.
