We asked expats and digital nomads what they appreciate the most about the local culture in Bahamas. They wrote...
"Expatriates in the Bahamas appreciate the laid-back attitude and the friendliness of the locals. They also value the cultural diversity of the islands and the stunning natural beauty. The diverse range of leisure activities and resorts, from hiking and island hopping to swimming with pigs and stingrays, keeps expats entertained and enchanted. The Bahamian cuisine, with its fusion of rice, seafood, tropical fruits and fresh flavors, is something many expats find attractive. The vibrant music, ranging from Junkanoo, Rake n’ Scrape, and Calypso, to Reggae, Boom, and Soca, adds to the charm. Finally, the relaxed housing market and warm, sunny weather make the Bahamas an attractive place to move and settle in," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Bahamas.
"Friendliness of the people in my office - I am the only expat. Ability to be happy despite not having much. Their religious faith is strong," commented one expat who made the move to Nassau, Bahamas.
