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 San Carlos. They wrote...

"Expats in San Carlos often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as Spanish is the primary language spoken and not everyone is fluent in English. The slower pace of life, known as "manana culture", can also be a challenge for those accustomed to a faster, more punctual lifestyle. Additionally, the heat and humidity can be difficult to adjust to, especially for those from cooler climates. Some expats also find it challenging to navigate the local bureaucracy, which can be complex and time-consuming. Lastly, cultural differences in communication styles and social norms can also pose challenges for expats," said a member in San Carlos, Panama.
