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 Rocha. They wrote...

"Expats in Rocha often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as Spanish is the primary language spoken and not everyone is fluent in 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 local cuisine, heavily based on meat, can also be a challenge for vegetarians or those with specific dietary needs. Lastly, adjusting to the local customs and social norms, such as the traditional afternoon siesta and late-night dinners, can be difficult for some expats," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Rocha, Uruguay.
