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...
"Constanta is an attractive destination for expats and digital nomads due to its low cost of living, beautiful beaches, and vibrant culture. Expats and digital nomads in Constanta can enjoy a relaxed lifestyle, with plenty of opportunities to explore the city's rich history and culture. The city is also home to a thriving nightlife, with plenty of bars, clubs, and restaurants to choose from. Constanta is also well-connected to other parts of Romania and Europe, making it easy to travel to other cities and countries. Expats and digital nomads in Constanta can also benefit from the city's excellent healthcare system and reliable public transportation," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Constanta, Romania.
"The Romanians I work with are pleasant, well mannered individuals. Getting used to the different work ethic was difficult at first but after some cultural training and getting used to the way things work it is getting easier. The majority of locals that I have met have been self centered. Manners are rare especially in public, unless you pay for them. I have found this probably one of the most frustrating things. I have been raised to be courteous and I find most Romanians that I don't know tend to be discourteous. Examples are driving, I have been told by my Romanian cultural advisor that many Romanians buy their driving licenses rather than sit the exam. This is evident after a drive through a town or city centre. Drivers pull out on you, rude, cut you up, also rude. Another example is smoking, I see a lot of families in restaurants with young children. The adults smoke, breathing cigarette smoke all over their children. I appreciate that they don't give a hoot about me and my meal but to submit their children to smoke is unacceptable. If you follow a Romanian through a door be careful of it hitting you in the face," commented one expat who made the move to Constanta, Romania.
