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 Atlantida. They wrote...

"Expats in Atlantida often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as Spanish is the primary language spoken and not everyone is fluent in English. They may also struggle with the slower pace of life, which is a stark contrast to the fast-paced lifestyle in many Western countries. The concept of 'manana' or 'tomorrow' is deeply ingrained in the culture, which can be frustrating for those used to immediate action or results. Additionally, expats may find it difficult to adjust to the local customs and social norms, such as the late dining hours and the importance of personal relationships in business dealings. Lastly, the lack of certain amenities and services that they may be accustomed to in their home countries, such as high-speed internet or certain types of cuisine, can also pose a challenge," said another expat in Atlantida, Uruguay.
