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 Olafsvik. They wrote...

"Expats in Olafsvik often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as Icelandic is a complex language that can be difficult to learn. The long, dark winters can also be a challenge for those not used to such extreme weather conditions. Additionally, the small town atmosphere of Olafsvik, while charming, can sometimes feel isolating for expats used to more bustling, cosmopolitan environments. The local diet, which includes unique Icelandic dishes like fermented shark and dried fish, can also be a challenge for newcomers. Lastly, the high cost of living in Iceland can be a significant hurdle for expats," wrote a member who made the move to Olafsvik, Iceland.
