What do expats find most challenging?

We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Santa Ana. They wrote...

"Expats in Santa Ana 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. The high crime rate and safety concerns can also be challenging for expats, as El Salvador has one of the highest homicide rates in the world. Additionally, the slower pace of life and the concept of "manana" (meaning "tomorrow" or "later") can be frustrating for those used to a more fast-paced, punctual lifestyle. The local cuisine, while delicious, can also be a challenge for some expats, particularly those with dietary restrictions or preferences. Lastly, the lack of certain amenities and services that they might be used to in their home countries, such as high-speed internet or certain healthcare services, can also be challenging for expats in Santa Ana," wrote a member who made the move to Santa Ana, El Salvador.
