What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in La Paz. They wrote...
"Expats in La Paz, may find the language barrier to be one of the most challenging aspects of the local culture, as not everyone speaks English, and it is essential to learn Spanish to communicate effectively. They may also struggle with the slower pace of life, as locals tend to be more relaxed and less focused on punctuality. Additionally, expats might find it difficult to navigate the local bureaucracy, which can be time-consuming and complex. The concept of personal space may also be different, as Mexicans tend to be more physically affectionate and stand closer during conversations. Finally, adapting to the local cuisine, which can be quite spicy, might be a challenge for some expats," wrote a member who made the move to La Paz, Mexico.
