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 Laborie. They wrote...

"Expats in Laborie may find the local Creole language challenging to understand and communicate in, as it is a mix of French, English, and African languages. The laid-back, "island time" attitude can also be difficult for those accustomed to a more fast-paced, punctual lifestyle. The local cuisine, while delicious, can be quite different from what many expats are used to, and may require an adjustment period. The heat and humidity of the tropical climate can also be challenging for those not accustomed to such weather. Additionally, while the locals are generally friendly and welcoming, cultural differences and misunderstandings can sometimes lead to feelings of isolation or exclusion. Lastly, the lack of certain amenities and services that expats may be used to in their home countries can also pose a challenge," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Laborie, Saint Lucia.
