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 Antigua. They wrote...

"Expats in Antigua 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 pace of life can also be a challenge, as it is significantly slower than what many expats are used to, which can lead to frustrations with perceived inefficiencies. Additionally, the local customs and traditions can be difficult to understand and adapt to, particularly for those who come from very different cultural backgrounds. The prevalence of poverty and inequality can also be confronting for some expats. Lastly, while Guatemala is known for its warm and friendly people, forming deep, genuine connections with locals can be challenging due to differences in social norms and expectations," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Antigua, Guatemala.
