What do expats find most challenging?

We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Half Moon Bay. They wrote...

"Expats in Half Moon Bay may find the laid-back, "island time" pace of life challenging, especially if they are used to a fast-paced, highly scheduled lifestyle. The local dialect, which is a mix of English and Creole, can also be difficult to understand for those not familiar with it. Some expats may struggle with the lack of certain amenities and services that they are accustomed to in their home countries. The high cost of living and limited job opportunities can also be challenging for expats. Additionally, adapting to the tropical climate, with its high humidity and hurricane season, can be difficult for some. Lastly, while locals are generally friendly, it can take time to fully integrate into the community and understand the local customs and traditions," wrote a member who made the move to Half Moon Bay, Antigua & Barbuda.
