What do expats find most challenging?

We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Schoorl. They wrote...

"Expats in Schoorl may find the Dutch directness challenging as it can sometimes come across as blunt or even rude to those from cultures where indirect communication is the norm. The language barrier can also be a challenge, as while many Dutch people speak English, not being able to speak Dutch can limit social interactions and understanding of local customs. The Dutch emphasis on independence and self-reliance can also be difficult for expats who are used to more communal cultures. The weather, particularly the cold, rainy winters, can also be a challenge for those not used to such climates. Lastly, navigating the Dutch bureaucracy, such as immigration procedures, can be complex and time-consuming," wrote a member who made the move to Schoorl, The Netherlands.
