What is life like as an expat in your area?

"Work seems to be the general feel of Johannesburg..... accented with lots of holidays during the 'festive' season (Dec & Jan). People are quite social on the weekends and plan large all day 'braiis' (barbeques) with loads of families and loads of food and drink. Going to the 'bush' is also important when one can take the time," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Johannesburg, South Africa.

"Life for expats and digital nomads in South Africa is generally quite pleasant. The country offers a diverse range of activities and attractions, from its stunning beaches and wildlife reserves to its vibrant cities and towns. The cost of living is relatively low, making it an attractive destination for those looking to stretch their budget. The country is also home to a large expat community, making it easy to find like-minded people and make new friends. South Africa is also a great place to work remotely, with reliable internet access and a range of coworking spaces available," commented one expat who made the move to South Africa.
