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...
"In comparing life in the suburbs of Houston to Banchory, Scotland, life rolls along at a much slower pace. From what I've experienced, family...mainly children, are the priority. In healthcare an adult appointment can be cancelled because an ill child needs to be seen. Additionally, community activites are available for children to participate in during school holidays," said a member in Banchory, Scotland.

"Scotland is a great place for expats and digital nomads to live and work. The country offers a high quality of life, with a strong economy, excellent healthcare, and a vibrant culture. Expats and digital nomads can enjoy the stunning scenery, from the rolling hills of the Highlands to the rugged coastline of the islands. The cities are full of life, with plenty of opportunities for socialising, shopping, and entertainment. Scotland is also a great place to learn English, with many language schools and universities offering courses. The cost of living is relatively low, making it an attractive destination for those looking to live and work abroad," remarked another expat who made the move to Scotland.
