What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Montevideo. They wrote...
"Expats in Montevideo 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. The local cuisine, heavily based on meat, can be a challenge for vegetarians or those with dietary restrictions. Additionally, the "manana" attitude, where things are often put off until tomorrow, can be frustrating for those used to more punctual cultures. Lastly, navigating the local bureaucracy can be difficult for expats, as it can be complex and time-consuming," explained one expat living in Montevideo, Uruguay.
