What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in St. Thomas often find the laid-back, slow-paced lifestyle challenging to adapt to, especially if they are used to a fast-paced, high-stress environment. The local dialect, Bajan, can also be difficult to understand for those not familiar with it, making communication a challenge. The island's high cost of living, particularly for imported goods, can also be a significant adjustment. Additionally, some expats may struggle with the local customs and social norms, which can be quite different from their own. The heat and humidity of the tropical climate can also be a challenge for those not used to such conditions. Lastly, while Barbadians are generally friendly and welcoming, it can take time to fully integrate into the local community and make close friends," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to St. Thomas, Barbados.
