When we asked people living abroad what life is like in their areas and how people spend their time, they said...

"Expat and digital nomad life in Switzerland is incredibly appealing, due to the country's excellent economic stability and high quality of living. This is coupled with a safe, first-world environment that offers many interesting cultural activities and a great standard of education. The country's transportation system is highly efficient, allowing easy travel within and across borders. Furthermore, Swiss cities have an array of opportunities that enable digital nomads to work remotely, while also appreciating their stunning natural environment. Additionally, a variety of lifestyle choices allows expats to take advantage of the diverse cultural opportunities on offer. All in all, expats and digital nomads in Switzerland enjoy an amazing quality of life that most other countries cannot rival," explained one expat living in Switzerland.
