What do expats find most challenging?

We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Rapallo. They wrote...

"Expats in Rapallo often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as not everyone speaks English and communication can be difficult. They also struggle with the slower pace of life, which can be frustrating for those used to a faster, more efficient lifestyle. The Italian bureaucracy can be quite complex and difficult to navigate for foreigners, especially when dealing with paperwork or legal matters. Additionally, some expats may find it challenging to adapt to the local customs and social norms, such as the late dining times and the importance of fashion. Lastly, while Italians are generally friendly and welcoming, it can take time to form close relationships, which can be challenging for expats seeking a sense of community," said a member in Rapallo, Italy.
