What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Westport. They wrote...
"Expats in Westport may find the local accent and dialect challenging to understand, especially when they first arrive. The Irish language, although not widely spoken, can also be a barrier. The weather in Ireland can be quite unpredictable and often rainy, which can be difficult for those used to more stable climates. The pace of life in Westport is slower than in many other places, which can be a challenge for those used to a faster, more hectic lifestyle. Some expats may also find it challenging to integrate into the close-knit community, as locals tend to have deep-rooted relationships and traditions. The cost of living can also be high, particularly for housing, which may be a shock for some expats. Lastly, navigating the healthcare system and understanding the local bureaucracy can be complex and confusing for newcomers," remarked another expat in Westport, Ireland.
