What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Rome. They wrote...
"The language continues to be a struggle now that my children attend the local Italian school and all the meetings and paperwork are in Italian. I also long for meaningful friendships with the Italians, but my vocabulary is still too limited to have in depth conversations. My kids are fluent and I so envy them," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Rome, Italy.
"Expats in Rome often find the language barrier to be one of the most challenging aspects of the local culture. Additionally, the city's chaotic traffic and the lack of public transportation can be difficult to navigate. Furthermore, the Italian bureaucracy can be complex and time-consuming to understand. Finally, the Italian lifestyle of taking things slowly and enjoying life can be a difficult adjustment for those used to a more fast-paced lifestyle," commented one expat who made the move to Rome, Italy.
