What do expats find most challenging?

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

"Expats in Angola often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to. Language barriers can be a challenge, as Portuguese is the official language and many locals do not speak English. Additionally, the local customs and traditions can be difficult to understand and navigate. Expats may also find the lack of infrastructure and services to be a challenge, as well as the high cost of living. Finally, the political and economic instability in the country can be a source of stress for expats," said another expat in Angola.

"Getting used to the fact that they are not a clean nation, they have adapted to live in filth and seem content to do so," wrote a member who made the move to Luanda, Angola.
