England
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...
"Life for expats and digital nomads in England can be both exciting and rewarding. The country offers a rich cultural experience, as well as a diverse range of activities and attractions. Expats and digital nomads in England will find plenty of educational and employment opportunities, as well as affordable housing. The country boasts a large expat community, which makes it easy for newcomers to quickly assimilate and make friends. The United Kingdom also offers a vibrant nightlife, world-class restaurants, and entertainment, making it an ideal playground for those seeking an ever-changing and interesting lifestyle," said a member in UK.
"Weston Super Mare (WSM) used to be a touristic spot but it has gone down a bit and now they are rebuilding it. It has a new Pier full of attractions, a lovely place to come and spend the day with the family. On the other side, 17% of services for drug addiction are based here so there is an eclectic mix of people here. Live revolves mainly around socializing," remarked another expat who made the move to Weston Super Mare, UK.
