What do people like (and dislike) about Luanda?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Luanda, they replied...

"Expats and digital nomads living in Luanda, often appreciate the warm and sunny weather, as well as the beautiful beaches along the Atlantic coast. They also enjoy the vibrant culture, friendly locals, and the opportunity to learn Portuguese. The city's growing expat community provides a sense of camaraderie and support for newcomers. On the other hand, expats and digital nomads may dislike the high cost of living in Luanda, as it is considered one of the most expensive cities in the world for expatriates. The lack of reliable public transportation and heavy traffic can make getting around the city challenging. Additionally, the quality of healthcare facilities may not be up to the standards that some expats are accustomed to, and there may be limited access to certain medications. Safety and security can also be a concern for expats living in Luanda, as crime rates are relatively high. The language barrier can be an issue for those who do not speak Portuguese, making it difficult to navigate daily life and interact with locals. Finally, the limited availability of high-speed internet and the lack of coworking spaces can be frustrating for digital nomads who rely on reliable connectivity for their work," remarked another expat who made the move to Luanda, Angola.
