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 Falmouth. They wrote...

"Expats in Falmouth often find the slow pace of life challenging, as the local culture values relaxation and leisure over urgency and efficiency. The laid-back attitude can be frustrating for those used to a fast-paced, deadline-driven lifestyle. Another challenge is the language barrier. Although English is the official language, the local dialect can be difficult to understand for newcomers. The island's isolation can also be a challenge. While it offers a peaceful and serene environment, it can also feel limiting for those used to having a variety of entertainment and shopping options. The high cost of living is another challenge for expats in Falmouth. Imported goods are expensive due to high import taxes, and housing can also be costly. Lastly, adapting to the local cuisine can be a challenge for some expats. While the food is generally fresh and flavorful, it is often heavily seasoned and may not suit everyone's palate," said another expat in Falmouth, Antigua & Barbuda.
