"Expats in Gambia often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to. The language barrier can be a challenge, as English is not widely spoken. Additionally, the local customs and traditions can be difficult to understand and navigate. Expats may also find the climate to be quite different from what they are used to, with hot and humid temperatures throughout the year. Finally, the infrastructure in Gambia can be lacking, making it difficult to access certain services and amenities," remarked another expat who made the move to Gambia.
