What do expats find most challenging?

Answer this Question

We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Umhlanga. They wrote...

"Expats in Umhlanga may find the local languages challenging, as South Africa has 11 official languages, including Zulu and Xhosa, which are widely spoken in the region. They may also struggle with understanding and adapting to local customs and traditions, which can be quite different from their own. The pace of life can be slower than what they are used to, which can be frustrating for those used to a fast-paced lifestyle. Additionally, the high crime rate in South Africa can be a concern for expats, and they may find it challenging to navigate the local security measures. Lastly, while South Africans are generally friendly and welcoming, expats may still experience a sense of social isolation or difficulty in integrating into the local community," remarked another expat in Umhlanga, South Africa.
