What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Columbus. They wrote...
"Expats in Columbus often find it challenging to adjust to the local culture due to the city's relatively small size. The city is not as diverse as some larger cities, so expats may find it difficult to find people with similar backgrounds and interests. Additionally, the city is known for its Midwestern hospitality, which can be difficult for expats to adjust to if they are used to a more direct communication style. Finally, the city's weather can be unpredictable, with hot summers and cold winters, which can be difficult for expats to adjust to," said a member in Columbus, the United States.
