What do people like (and dislike) about Brisbane?

Answer this Question

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

"Expats and digital nomads generally like Brisbane's warm and sunny climate, which allows for an outdoor lifestyle and various recreational activities. They appreciate the city's friendly and laid-back atmosphere, making it easy to socialize and make new friends. The city offers a good balance between urban amenities and natural attractions, with easy access to beaches, national parks, and wildlife reserves. Brisbane has a relatively low cost of living compared to other major Australian cities like Sydney and Melbourne, making it more affordable for expats and digital nomads. The city also has a well-developed public transportation system, making it easy to get around. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may find Brisbane's job market to be less competitive and diverse compared to larger cities like Sydney and Melbourne. The city's nightlife and cultural scene may also be considered less vibrant and diverse compared to other major cities in Australia. Some expats and digital nomads may find the city to be too quiet and lacking in excitement, especially if they are used to living in larger, more cosmopolitan cities. Additionally, the city's public transportation system, while well-developed, may not be as extensive as those in other major cities, which could be a drawback for some," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Brisbane, Australia.
