What do expats find most challenging?

We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in San Pedro. They wrote...

"Expats in San Pedro often find the slower pace of life, known as "island time", challenging to adjust to, as it can affect business operations and daily activities. The language barrier can also be a challenge, as while English is the official language, many locals speak Creole or Spanish. Some expats may find the local cuisine, which is heavily based on rice, beans, and seafood, difficult to adapt to. The lack of certain amenities and services that they may be used to in their home countries, such as high-speed internet or advanced healthcare facilities, can also be challenging. Additionally, the high humidity and heat can be uncomfortable for those not used to tropical climates. Lastly, understanding and navigating the local customs and social norms can be a challenge for some expats," commented one expat who made the move to San Pedro, Belize.
