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 Naples. They wrote...

"Expats in Naples, often find the local culture challenging due to several factors. The language barrier can be a significant issue, as not everyone speaks English, making communication and daily tasks difficult. The chaotic traffic and driving habits of Neapolitans can be overwhelming and stressful for newcomers. Bureaucracy and inefficiency in public services can be frustrating, as it often takes a long time to get things done. The concept of "Italian time" or the more relaxed approach to punctuality can be hard to adjust to for those used to more rigid schedules. Additionally, the strong emphasis on family and close-knit communities can make it difficult for expats to integrate and form connections with locals. Finally, the prevalence of petty crime, such as pickpocketing and theft, can be a concern for expats living in Naples," remarked another expat in Naples, Italy.
