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...
"Locals definitely around family, and expats with kids have plenty of opportunity to meet people through school events, same as anywhere else. As the capital, there are many NGOs here this also makes the expat experience very interesting, you meet many people doing interesting and worthwhile things," said another expat in Hanoi, Vietnam.
"Life for expats and digital nomads in Vietnam is generally quite comfortable. Vietnam features a vibrant culture, an affordable cost of living, and modern amenities like reliable high-speed internet and quality healthcare. Expats and digital nomads in particular are well-supported by a growing tech and entrepreneurial community, making it easy to connect and collaborate with like-minded individuals. The country’s dramatic landscapes, street food, and friendly locals make it an attractive destination for long-term expats and digital nomads," wrote a member who made the move to Vietnam.
