What do expats find most challenging?

We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Old Road. They wrote...

"Expats in Old Road 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. Language can also be a challenge, as while English is the official language, the local dialect can be difficult to understand at first. The island's infrastructure can also be a challenge, as it may not be as developed or reliable as what expats are used to in their home countries. This includes issues with internet connectivity, power outages, and limited healthcare facilities. The high cost of living is another challenge, as imported goods and groceries can be expensive. Lastly, while the local culture is generally friendly and welcoming, expats may experience a sense of isolation or difficulty integrating into the local community, particularly if they do not make an effort to participate in local events or learn about the local culture," explained one expat living in Old Road, Antigua & Barbuda.
