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 as an expat in the area can be an interesting and stimulating experience. The area has a rich history and culture, with many attractions and activities to explore. Expats will find a mix of local and international cuisine, a variety of nightlife, and plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities. It is an excellent place to connect with locals and other expats, and to take advantage of the many options available to expats in the form of education, housing, employment, and social programs. The area also offers a high quality of life, with its temperate climate, low cost of living, and access to healthcare and public transportation. Additionally, it has a vibrant expat community, with various networking and support networks, that help expats when settling in and make it an enjoyable experience," said another expat in Ireland.

"As in most communities throughout the world, priorities center on providing for family, religion, discussing global affairs and politics, and of course, sports. Tubbercurry has a GAA pitch and a lovely golf course. There is a newly revamped children's park and excellent walking areas with wonderful beauty," wrote a member who made the move to Tubbercurry, Ireland.
