"Expats in La Fortuna may find the language barrier to be one of the most challenging aspects of the local culture, as Spanish is the primary language spoken in the area. Adjusting to the slower pace of life, known as "Tico time," can also be difficult for those accustomed to a more fast-paced lifestyle. Additionally, expats may struggle with the lack of infrastructure and public services, such as reliable internet and transportation options. Cultural differences in communication styles, personal space, and social norms can also be challenging for expats to navigate. Finally, adapting to the local cuisine and dietary habits may be difficult for some, especially those with specific dietary restrictions or preferences," explained one expat living in La Fortuna, Costa Rica.
