We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Westmoorings. They wrote...
"Expats in Westmoorings often find the local dialect, a unique blend of English, African, Indian, and Spanish influences, challenging to understand and use in daily conversation. The laid-back, 'island time' attitude can also be a significant adjustment for those used to a more fast-paced, punctual lifestyle. The high crime rate, particularly in certain areas, can be a concern for expats, making it challenging to feel safe and secure. The heat and humidity of the tropical climate can also be difficult to adjust to, particularly for those from cooler climates. Additionally, navigating the local bureaucracy can be a challenge, as it can be slow and inefficient. Lastly, while Trinidad and Tobago is a multicultural society, racial tensions do exist, which can be challenging for expats to navigate and understand," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Westmoorings, Trinidad & Tobago.
