What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Sunshine Coast. They wrote...
"Expats in Sunshine Coast may find the laid-back, relaxed pace of life challenging if they are used to a faster, more hectic lifestyle. The local dialect and slang can also be difficult to understand for those not familiar with Australian English. Some expats may struggle with the high cost of living, particularly in terms of housing and dining out. The hot and humid climate can be uncomfortable for those used to cooler weather. Additionally, the local culture is very sports-oriented, which may be challenging for those who are not particularly athletic or interested in sports. Lastly, while Australians are generally friendly and welcoming, it can take time to form deep, meaningful friendships, which can be challenging for expats," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Sunshine Coast, Australia.
