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 Uvita. They wrote...

"Expats in Uvita often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as not everyone speaks English and it can be difficult to communicate without a basic understanding of Spanish. Additionally, the concept of "Tico time", where punctuality is not as strictly adhered to as in other cultures, can be frustrating for those used to more rigid schedules. The laid-back lifestyle, while appealing to some, can also be a challenge for those used to a faster pace of life. The high humidity and heat can also be difficult to adjust to, as can the local cuisine, which may be different from what expats are used to. Lastly, navigating the local bureaucracy, such as dealing with residency permits and local laws, can be a complex and time-consuming process," wrote a member who made the move to Uvita, Costa Rica.
