What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Hamilton. They wrote...
"Expats in Hamilton often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to. The pace of life is slower and more relaxed than in many other places, and the island's small size can make it difficult to find the same amenities and services that are available in larger cities. Additionally, the island's strong sense of community and culture can be challenging for expats to adjust to, as it can be difficult to find a place to fit in. Finally, the cost of living in Bermuda is significantly higher than in many other countries, making it difficult for expats to find affordable housing and other necessities," remarked another expat who made the move to Hamilton, Bermuda.
