What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Honduras. They wrote...
"Expats in Honduras often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to. Language barriers can be a challenge, as Spanish is the primary language spoken in Honduras. Additionally, the local customs and traditions can be difficult to understand and navigate. Expats may also find the pace of life to be slower than what they are accustomed to, as well as the lack of modern amenities and infrastructure. Finally, the high levels of poverty and crime can be a shock to those who are not used to it," remarked another expat who made the move to Honduras.
"Backwardness, bureaucracy, security and safety. Also, because I don't know how things work, the most basic task can be very daunting--buying groceries, opening a bank account, even taking a walk," explained one expat living in Siguatepeque, Honduras.
