What is life like as an expat in your area?
When we asked people living abroad what life is like in their areas and how people spend their time, they said...
"In general, it seems to me everyone for his own. Family is important because no one steps out of the box they live in. Socializing is for who you know. And work ethic is just different from what I am used to. When clock hits 4:00pm the desk is empty if you are Norwegian. All projects take forever to get done due to this mentality. Sports events are rare and again hard to find if you don't speak or read Norwegian, so you really have to be an extrovert to find out what is happening on the island for the weekend. Tourist center helps if you go by once a week," said another expat in Tromso, Norway.
"Tromso is a popular destination for expats and digital nomads due to its stunning natural beauty, vibrant culture, and excellent quality of life. Expats and digital nomads in Tromso can enjoy the city's many outdoor activities, such as skiing, snowshoeing, and hiking, as well as its vibrant nightlife and cultural attractions. The city also offers a wide range of accommodation options, from traditional Norwegian apartments to modern serviced apartments. Expats and digital nomads in Tromso can also benefit from the city's excellent public transportation system, which makes it easy to get around. Additionally, the city is home to a large international community, making it easy to make friends and find support. All in all, Tromso is an ideal destination for expats and digital nomads looking for an exciting and rewarding experience," wrote a member who made the move to Tromso, Norway.
