"Expats in Zihuatanejo 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 slower pace of life can also be a challenge for those accustomed to a more fast-paced, structured environment. Additionally, the heat and humidity can be difficult to adjust to, especially for those from cooler climates. Some expats also find it challenging to navigate the local bureaucracy when dealing with issues such as residency permits, taxes, or property ownership. Lastly, cultural differences in attitudes towards time, personal space, and social norms can also be challenging for expats," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Zihuatanejo, Mexico.
