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...
"Kenyans are very family-centric and will be flattered if you show an interest in their home life. "Harambee" is the name of a family or community party which will require a small donation but is well worth attending. If you are invited to one by a Kenyan colleague, be sure to make a donation and attend, you won't regret it. Music and nightclubs, bars and fun carnivals are regular events," said another expat in Nairobi, Kenya.
"Life for expats and digital nomads in Kenya is generally quite pleasant. The country is known for its warm climate, friendly people, and vibrant culture. Expats and digital nomads can find a variety of activities to enjoy, from exploring the country's national parks and game reserves to taking part in the local music and art scenes. The cost of living is relatively low, making it an attractive destination for those looking to stretch their budget. Additionally, the country has a strong infrastructure, with reliable internet access and a variety of coworking spaces available. All in all, Kenya is an ideal destination for expats and digital nomads looking for an exciting and affordable place to live and work," wrote a member who made the move to Kenya.
