Embark on Ivory Coast Expats Life

From the coastal lagoons around the de facto capital to the Eastern Plantations, i.e. the cultivated areas near Lac de Kossou, Ivory Coast has much to offer to expatriates, tourists and travelers from all over the world. However, the growing expat Ivory Coast community is mainly attracted by its economic challenges, e.g. in the coffee sector, and the urban development in Yamoussoukro and Bouaké. Expat living in Ivory Coast surely can face a challenge once in a while, but at the same time it is a wonderful intercultural experience you will never forget.
