What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Viareggio. They wrote...
"Expats in Viareggio 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. The Italian bureaucracy can also be a challenge, as it can be complex and time-consuming to navigate. Some expats may also struggle with the slower pace of life in Viareggio, as Italians value leisure and relaxation, which can be a stark contrast to the fast-paced lifestyle many expats are used to. Additionally, the Italian concept of time and punctuality can be a challenge, as Italians are often more relaxed about time and schedules. Lastly, adapting to the local cuisine can be a challenge for some, as Italian food is very regional and the food in Viareggio may be different from what expats are used to," explained one expat living in Viareggio, Italy.
