What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Tauranga. They wrote...
"Expats in Tauranga often find the laid-back, slow-paced lifestyle challenging to adapt to, especially if they are used to a fast-paced, high-stress environment. The local dialect and slang can also be difficult to understand for those not familiar with New Zealand English. Some expats may find the Kiwi sense of humor, which is often self-deprecating and dry, a bit hard to grasp. The cultural importance of sports, particularly rugby, can also be overwhelming for those who are not sports enthusiasts. Additionally, the Maori culture is deeply ingrained in the New Zealand way of life, and understanding and respecting this can be a challenge for some expats. Lastly, the cost of living in Tauranga is relatively high, which can be a significant challenge for expats," said a member in Tauranga, New Zealand.
