What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in San Ignacio often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as Spanish is the primary language spoken and not everyone is fluent in English. Additionally, the pace of life is much slower compared to Western countries, which can be frustrating for those used to a fast-paced lifestyle. The local cuisine, while delicious, can be quite different from what expats are used to, and adjusting to it can be a challenge. The lack of certain amenities and services that they might be accustomed to in their home countries can also be difficult. Lastly, understanding and adapting to local customs and traditions can be a challenge for expats, as they can be quite different from their own," remarked another expat who made the move to San Ignacio, El Salvador.
