What do expats find most challenging?

Answer this Question

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

"Expats in Dunedin may find the local accent and colloquial language challenging to understand initially. The city's slower pace of life compared to other major cities can also be a significant adjustment for some expats. The weather in Dunedin can be quite unpredictable, which can be challenging for those from more stable climates. Some expats may also find it difficult to adjust to the local cuisine, which is heavily influenced by British food traditions. The relative isolation of Dunedin, being located in the southern part of the South Island, can also be a challenge for those used to living in more central or connected locations. Lastly, while New Zealand is generally welcoming, some expats may experience a degree of culture shock or feel like outsiders until they become more integrated into the local community," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Dunedin, New Zealand.
