What do expats find most challenging?

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

"Expats in Somerset Village often find the high cost of living to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture. The island is known for its expensive housing, groceries, and dining, which can be a significant adjustment for newcomers. Another challenge is the slower pace of life, often referred to as "island time". This can be frustrating for expats used to a faster, more punctual lifestyle. Understanding and adapting to local customs and etiquette can also be challenging. Bermudians are generally very polite and expect the same from others. This includes greeting everyone, even strangers, and respecting the local dress code, which is more formal than in many other beach destinations. Lastly, while English is the official language, Bermudians have a distinct accent and use unique phrases and slang, which can be difficult for expats to understand initially," commented one expat who made the move to Somerset Village, Bermuda.
