What is life like as an expat in your area?

Answer this Question

When we asked people living abroad what life is like in their areas and how people spend their time, they said...

"Life for expats and digital nomads in Cotacachi is generally peaceful and relaxed. The town is small and quiet, with a slow pace of life that many foreigners find appealing. The cost of living is low, making it an attractive destination for those looking to stretch their budget. The local population is friendly and welcoming to foreigners, and there is a growing community of expats and digital nomads. The town is surrounded by beautiful natural scenery, including mountains and lakes, providing plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities. The climate is mild and pleasant, with warm days and cool nights. The town itself is clean and well-maintained, with a charming central plaza and a variety of shops and restaurants. Despite its small size, Cotacachi has a good infrastructure for digital nomads, with reliable internet and a number of cafes and coworking spaces. The town is also known for its leather goods, and there are plenty of opportunities to shop for unique, handmade items. While Spanish is the main language spoken in Cotacachi, many locals and most businesses also speak English, making it easy for expats and digital nomads to communicate. The town is also relatively safe, with low crime rates compared to other parts of Ecuador. However, life in Cotacachi is not without its challenges. Some expats may find the slow pace of life too quiet, and the town's remote location can make it difficult to access certain amenities and services. Additionally, while the local population is generally welcoming, there can be cultural differences that take some getting used to. Overall, Cotacachi offers a unique blend of tranquility, affordability, and natural beauty that makes it an attractive destination for expats and digital nomads," commented one expat who made the move to Cotacachi, Ecuador.
