What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Eindhoven. They wrote...
"Expats in Eindhoven often find the Dutch directness challenging as it can sometimes come across as rude or blunt. The language barrier can also be a significant challenge, as while many Dutch people speak English, daily life and official matters are conducted in Dutch. The weather is another aspect that some expats struggle with, as it can be quite cold and rainy. The Dutch culture of cycling everywhere can also be a challenge for those not used to it. Additionally, some expats find it difficult to integrate into the local community and make Dutch friends, as the locals tend to have tight-knit social circles. Lastly, the Dutch bureaucracy can be overwhelming for some, especially when dealing with housing, taxes, and immigration matters," explained one expat living in Eindhoven, The Netherlands.
