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 Colonia del Sacramento. They wrote...

"Expats in Colonia del Sacramento often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as Spanish is the official language and not everyone speaks English. The slower pace of life can also be a challenge for those accustomed to a faster, more hectic lifestyle. Additionally, the concept of 'manana' or 'tomorrow' can be frustrating for expats, as locals tend to have a more relaxed attitude towards time and deadlines. The bureaucracy can also be a challenge, as processes like setting up utilities or getting a driver's license can be time-consuming and complicated. Lastly, while Uruguayans are generally friendly and welcoming, it can take time to build deep relationships and fully integrate into the local community," remarked another expat who made the move to Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay.
