What do expats find most challenging?

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

"Expats in St. Andrews may find the local dialect and accents challenging to understand, especially when they first arrive. The weather can also be a challenge, as it is often cold, windy, and rainy. The pace of life in St. Andrews is slower than in many other places, which can be difficult for those used to a faster, more hectic lifestyle. Some expats may also find it challenging to adapt to the local customs and traditions, such as the celebration of Burns Night or the playing of bagpipes. The cost of living can also be high, particularly for those coming from countries with a lower cost of living. Lastly, while the locals are generally friendly and welcoming, it can sometimes be difficult for expats to fully integrate into the community and make local friends," commented one expat who made the move to St. Andrews, Scotland.
