What do people like (and dislike) about Bahamas?
When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Bahamas, they replied...
"Expats and digital nomads living in the Bahamas enjoy the warm climate, beautiful beaches, and laid-back lifestyle. They also appreciate the low cost of living and the fact that English is the official language. On the downside, expats and digital nomads may find the lack of infrastructure and public transportation inconvenient, and the limited job opportunities can be a challenge. Additionally, the high cost of imported goods can be a burden," wrote a member who made the move to Bahamas.

"The people are amazing. There is a large influx of young locals who are transforming spaces, thinking, culture and experiences. Older locals are gracious and wonderful. Certain areas have seen better days but there is a move to bring them back to former glory. The place has real beauty, despite the need for urban regeneration. There are lots of nearby quiet places a boat ride away in neighbouring islands. Overarchingly I feel grateful to be able to call this home," explained one expat living in Nassau, Bahamas.
