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 Sarteneja. They wrote...

"Expats in Sarteneja often find the language barrier to be a significant challenge, as the local language is a mix of Spanish, English, and Creole. The slow pace of life, which is a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of Western societies, can also be difficult to adjust to. Additionally, the lack of certain amenities and services that they may be accustomed to, such as high-speed internet, can be frustrating. The local cuisine, which is heavily based on rice, beans, and seafood, may also be a challenge for those who are not used to such a diet. Lastly, the tropical climate, with its high humidity and heat, can be uncomfortable for those used to cooler climates," remarked another expat who made the move to Sarteneja, Belize.
