What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Queretaro. They wrote...
"One challenge that expats in Queretaro often face is the language barrier, as many locals only speak Spanish. Additionally, the cultural differences between expats and locals can be initially overwhelming. For example, siestas and family-oriented events are commonplace and expected, and the traditional machismo attitude among men can take some getting used to. Oftentimes, the unfamiliar customs related to food and the religious festivals celebrated in Queretaro can also prove challenging. The cost of living in Queretaro can also be a challenge for expats who are not used to a lower overall salary," said another expat in Queretaro, Mexico.
"Ha! this is easy. The most challenging aspects are adapting to the mentality (you have to literally dumb down to fit into society, for the most part). I have to be more flexible about time too," wrote a member who made the move to Queretaro, Mexico.
