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 La barra. They wrote...

"Expats in La Barra, Uruguay 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. The laid-back and slower pace of life, known as 'tranquilo', can also be a challenge for those accustomed to a faster, more time-oriented lifestyle. Additionally, the local customs and etiquette, such as the late dining times and the importance of personal relationships in business dealings, can be difficult to adjust to. The high cost of living and the bureaucracy involved in dealing with local authorities and services can also be challenging for expats. Lastly, the isolation and quietness of La Barra, especially during off-peak seasons, can be a struggle for those used to more bustling environments," remarked another expat in La barra, Uruguay.
