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...
"Living in Korea as an expat or digital nomad can be an exciting and rewarding experience. The country is known for its vibrant culture, delicious food, and friendly people. Expats and digital nomads can find plenty of opportunities to explore the country, from visiting ancient temples to exploring the bustling cities. The cost of living in Korea is relatively low, making it an attractive destination for those looking to stretch their budget. The country also offers excellent public transportation, making it easy to get around. Expats and digital nomads can also take advantage of the country's high-speed internet, making it easy to stay connected with friends and family back home," remarked another expat who made the move to Korea.
"Living in Taean for a few months. I have found that it is like living in the country. We do have our little city and it does have events such as the Fall Festival and Christmas concert which they held. The traffic is not like Seoul or the other major cities. I have seen other foreigners but have not met them. Looking to do that. The neighbors have been friendly and the town councilmen have been around and introduced themselves. The city is active in making sure the people are taken care of. So far so good," explained one expat living in Korea.
