What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Marsh Harbour. They wrote...
"Expats in Marsh Harbour may find the slower pace of life challenging, as the local culture values relaxation and leisure over the hustle and bustle of city life. They may also struggle with the island time concept, where punctuality is not as strictly adhered to as in other cultures. The limited availability of certain goods and services can also be a challenge, as the island does not have the same variety of shopping and dining options as larger cities. Additionally, the local dialect and colloquialisms can be difficult to understand for those not familiar with Bahamian English. Lastly, the high cost of living, particularly for imported goods, can be a significant challenge for expats in Marsh Harbour," wrote a member who made the move to Marsh Harbour, Bahamas.
