What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Nosara often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as Spanish is the primary language spoken and not everyone is fluent in English. The slower pace of life, known as "Tico time", can also be a challenge for those accustomed to a more fast-paced, punctual lifestyle. Additionally, the lack of certain amenities and services that they might be used to in their home countries, such as high-speed internet or certain types of healthcare, can be difficult to adjust to. The high humidity and heat can also be a challenge for those not used to tropical climates. Lastly, understanding and navigating the local bureaucracy and legal systems can be complex and frustrating for expats," remarked another expat in Nosara, Costa Rica.
