What is life like as an expat in your area?

"Living in Istanbul as an expat or digital nomad can be an exciting and rewarding experience. The city is a vibrant and diverse metropolis, with a rich cultural heritage and a unique blend of modern and traditional lifestyles. Expats and digital nomads can enjoy the city's many attractions, from its bustling nightlife to its stunning architecture and historical sites. The city also offers a wide range of activities and amenities, from shopping and dining to outdoor activities and cultural events. The cost of living in Istanbul is relatively low compared to other major cities, making it an attractive destination for expats and digital nomads. Additionally, the city is well-connected to the rest of the world, with excellent public transportation and an international airport," remarked another expat who made the move to Istanbul, Turkey.

"The husbands lives of course revolve around work and golf as in all expat posts. There are some very good private clubs for all sports. The wives socialize a lot, are active in sports and many charity activities organized by the various associations. School events are also a good way to meet new people," explained one expat living in Istanbul, Turkey.
