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 Puerto Galera is a unique blend of tropical paradise and modern convenience. The town is known for its beautiful beaches, vibrant nightlife, and a wide range of outdoor activities, making it an ideal location for those who enjoy an active lifestyle. The cost of living is relatively low, allowing expats and digital nomads to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle without breaking the bank. There are plenty of affordable accommodations available, from beachfront resorts to budget-friendly apartments. The local cuisine is a delightful mix of Filipino and international dishes, with plenty of fresh seafood and tropical fruits. There are also numerous bars and restaurants where expats can socialize and meet new people. Internet connectivity in Puerto Galera is generally reliable, making it a suitable place for digital nomads to work. There are also several coworking spaces available for those who prefer a more structured work environment. The local community is friendly and welcoming, and English is widely spoken, making it easy for expats to communicate and integrate into the local culture. Despite its laid-back atmosphere, Puerto Galera also has a bustling market and several shopping centers where expats can find everything they need. Healthcare facilities are adequate, with several clinics and a hospital in town. For more serious medical concerns, Manila, which has world-class healthcare facilities, is just a few hours away. Overall, life for expats and digital nomads in Puerto Galera is relaxed and enjoyable, with plenty of opportunities for work, leisure, and exploration," wrote a member who made the move to Puerto Galera, Philippines.
