What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Hamilton. They wrote...
"Expats in Hamilton may find the local slang and accent challenging to understand initially. The laid-back and reserved nature of Kiwis might be difficult for those from more expressive cultures. The Maori culture is deeply ingrained in New Zealand society, and understanding its nuances might be challenging for expats. The weather can be unpredictable, which can be a challenge for those from more stable climates. The cost of living, particularly housing, can be high compared to other countries. The isolation of New Zealand, both geographically and in terms of global news and events, can also be a challenge for some expats," said another expat in Hamilton, New Zealand.
