New Plymouth, New Zealand
What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in New Plymouth. They wrote...
"Expats in New Plymouth often find the local dialect and slang challenging to understand, as it can be quite different from standard English. The laid-back and relaxed lifestyle, while appealing to some, can be a challenge for those used to a faster pace of life. The isolation of New Zealand, both geographically and culturally, can also be difficult for some expats, leading to feelings of homesickness and disconnection from their home culture. The cost of living can also be high, particularly for housing, which can be a shock for newcomers. Finally, the weather can be unpredictable, with four seasons often experienced in a single day, which can be a challenge for those used to more stable climates," commented one expat who made the move to New Plymouth, New Zealand.
