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 Punta Gorda. They wrote...

"Expats in Punta Gorda often find the slow pace of life and "island time" mentality challenging, as it can be a stark contrast to the fast-paced, deadline-driven cultures they may be used to. The language barrier can also be a challenge, as while English is the official language, many locals speak Kriol, Spanish, or indigenous languages. Some expats may also struggle with the lack of certain amenities and conveniences they are accustomed to, such as high-speed internet or a wide variety of shopping options. The tropical climate, while appealing to some, can be difficult for others to adjust to, particularly the high humidity and heat. Lastly, understanding and navigating the local bureaucracy can be a challenge, especially when it comes to legal matters or property ownership," wrote a member who made the move to Punta Gorda, Belize.
