What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in St Ives. They wrote...
"Expats in St Ives, often find the local dialect and accents challenging to understand, as they can be quite strong and unique. They may also struggle with the slower pace of life, which is typical of many smaller British towns. The weather can be another challenge, as it can be quite unpredictable and often rainy. Some expats might find it difficult to integrate into the close-knit community, as locals tend to have deep-rooted connections and traditions. The high cost of living, particularly housing, can also be a significant challenge for expats in St Ives. Lastly, the limited public transportation options and the town's remote location can make it difficult for expats to travel and explore other parts of the UK," commented one expat who made the move to St Ives, England.
