Germany
What do people like (and dislike) about Germany?
When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Germany, they replied...
"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 in Germany.
"What I like about living in Germany the beautiful cities and countryside. Also the ability to visit other neighboring countries. Flying is cheaper due to the low-cost flights available. Dislikes, racial discrimination. It took seven years to adjust longer than I thought," said a member in Kandern, Germany.
