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...

"Most locals work in tourism or in the service industry. Many people are also involved with fishing and boating. Locals are very family-oriented and really enjoy sports, especially soccer - but also baseball and basketball," remarked another expat who made the move to Huatulco, Mexico.

"Life for expats and digital nomads in Huatulco is often described as relaxed and laid-back, with a slower pace of life that many find appealing. The town is known for its beautiful beaches, warm weather, and friendly locals, making it a popular destination for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. Expats and digital nomads in Huatulco enjoy a low cost of living, with affordable housing, food, and healthcare. The town has a range of accommodation options, from budget-friendly apartments to luxury villas, and there are plenty of local markets and restaurants where you can enjoy delicious Mexican cuisine. Despite its small size, Huatulco has a good infrastructure, with reliable internet and a range of amenities, making it a suitable location for remote work. There are also plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities, such as surfing, hiking, and snorkeling, providing a good work-life balance. The local community is welcoming to foreigners, and there is a growing expat community, making it easy to meet new people and make friends. However, it's worth noting that Spanish is the main language spoken in Huatulco, so it can be beneficial to learn some basic Spanish to help with day-to-day life. While Huatulco is generally safe, like any place, it's important to take precautions and be aware of your surroundings. Overall, life for expats and digital nomads in Huatulco offers a unique blend of relaxation, adventure, and cultural immersion," explained one expat living in Huatulco, Mexico.
