What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Grenada often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to. The pace of life is slower and more relaxed than in many other countries, and the local customs and traditions can be unfamiliar. Additionally, the language barrier can be a challenge for expats, as English is not widely spoken in Grenada. Finally, the cost of living can be higher than in other countries, making it difficult for expats to adjust to the local economy," explained one expat.
