What do expats find most challenging?

We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Bahia de Caraquez. They wrote...

"Not knowing the language and the fact that especially in this part of Ecuador, they talk extremely FAST!," said another expat in Bahia de Caraquez, Ecuador.

"Expats in Bahia de Caraquez often find it challenging to navigate the language barrier, as Spanish is the main language spoken. Additionally, locals tend to adhere to a more leisurely schedule, which can take some getting used to for those accustomed to more urgent deadlines and more structured schedules. Cultural norms such as speaking modestly and graciously are also expected, and having an awareness of local customs and traditions is important to become accepted into the community. Finally, expats may struggle with the lack of reliable public transport, which can make getting around difficult," wrote a member who made the move to Bahia de Caraquez, Ecuador, Ecuador.
