Germany
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...
"Capital of Thüringen / Thuringa. There are still many communters from the west who are here during the week. High unemployment of 14% and people tend to stay to themselves," remarked another expat who made the move to Erfurt, Germany.
"Living as an expat or digital nomad in Germany can be both rewarding and challenging. The country offers excellent infrastructure, a well-developed public transportation system, and strong economic opportunities. Expats and digital nomads can benefit from the culture of order, accuracy and efficiency that is characteristic of German society. German cities offer world-class amenities, from lush parks and museums to high-end restaurants and shopping malls. Expats have access to a wide range of quality healthcare services, as well as a range of schools for children and young adults. Although the language barrier can sometimes be a challenge, expats can find a wealth of resources to help them settle in and feel at home. Despite the colder climate and sometimes difficult immigration process, the overall quality of life in Germany is very appealing to many expats and digital nomads," explained one expat living in Germany.
