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 Guayaquil. They wrote...

"Expats in Guayaquil often find the language barrier to be a significant challenge. The local Spanish can be difficult to understand and become fluent in, and not everyone in the city will be able to easily understand English. Additionally, locals may have different perceptions of time than expats, leading to frustration when appointments aren't kept on time. Another potential challenge is navigating the city. Foreigners may not be used to the layout of the streets and may struggle to find their destinations without help from locals. Finally, the cost of living can be hard for expats to adjust to, as their income may not stretch far in Ecuador," commented one expat who made the move to Guayaquil, Ecuador, Ecuador.

"The language. The ridiculously high cost of items such as autos, household items (i.e. blenders, juicers, gas grills, refrigerators, etc.). The lack of food options compared to the US," remarked another expat in Guayaquil, Ecuador.
