What do expats find most challenging?

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

"Expats in Abaco Islands may find the laid-back and relaxed pace of life challenging, especially if they are used to a fast-paced, high-stress environment. The concept of "island time" can be frustrating for those who are used to strict schedules and punctuality. Another challenge could be the limited availability of goods and services. The islands may not have the same variety of products or amenities that expats are accustomed to in their home countries. Language can also be a challenge, as the local dialect can be difficult to understand for those not familiar with it. While English is widely spoken, the Bahamian Creole can be hard to grasp. The high cost of living can also be a challenge for expats in the Abaco Islands. Prices for groceries, housing, and other necessities are often higher than in other countries due to the cost of importing goods. Lastly, adapting to the local culture and customs can be challenging. The Bahamian culture is unique and it may take time for expats to understand and adapt to the local traditions and social norms," said a member in Abaco Islands, Bahamas.
