Expat Advice: Culture Shock in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

What is the name of the city or town that you are reporting on?

Puerto Vallarta

What are the most challenging aspects of the new culture?

One of the major challenges for expats in Puerto Vallarta is the language barrier. Most people in the city speak Spanish, and although many also speak English, it can be difficult to find locals who are fluent in it. Additionally, the cultural norms and values can be jarring to those from different countries, as the city has its own unique customs and traditions. The climate can also be difficult to adjust to, with hot and humid temperatures year-round, and the cost of living is higher than in some other parts of the country.
