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 Caye Caulker. They wrote...

"Expats in Caye Caulker often find the slower pace of life, known as "island time", challenging to adjust to, as it can affect business operations and daily activities. The language barrier can also be a challenge, as while English is the official language, many locals speak Creole or Spanish. Some expats may find the lack of certain amenities and services, such as high-speed internet or advanced healthcare facilities, difficult to cope with. The high cost of imported goods can also be a challenge for expats used to cheaper prices in their home countries. Additionally, the tropical climate, while attractive to many, can be hard to adapt to, particularly the high humidity and hurricane season. Lastly, understanding and navigating the local bureaucracy can be a challenge, especially when it comes to property ownership and residency laws," said another expat in Caye Caulker, Belize.
