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 Ukraine can be quite rewarding. The country offers a unique cultural experience, with a rich history and vibrant cities. The cost of living is relatively low, making it an attractive destination for those looking to stretch their budget. The country is also well-connected, with good public transportation and a reliable internet connection. Expats and digital nomads can find a wide range of activities to enjoy, from exploring the countryside to visiting the many museums and galleries. The people are friendly and welcoming, making it easy to make friends and build a social network," wrote a member who made the move to Ukraine.

"Four universities and a host of job training schools, so many young. They have no cultural problem with promiscuity, and most children do not have fathers present. This usually results in criminal delinquency elsewhere. Mogliv is the second highest crime city in UE behind Odessa. Much smuggling from Moldova across the river. We have a dance club here, it is called Step. Three people knocked off by Russian Mafia last week. Best to be home after dark," explained one expat living in Mogliv-Podilskyi, Ukraine.
