"Expats and digital nomads often appreciate the high quality of life in Germany, with its excellent infrastructure, efficient public transportation, and vibrant cultural scene. They also enjoy the country's strong economy, which provides plenty of job opportunities. Additionally, many expats and digital nomads find the German people to be friendly and welcoming. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may find the language barrier and bureaucracy to be challenging. Additionally, the cost of living in Germany can be quite high, especially in the larger cities," remarked another expat who made the move to Germany.
