What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Sao Paulo. They wrote...
"Expats in Sao Paulo often find the language barrier to be one of the most challenging aspects of the local culture. Additionally, the city's large size and population can make it difficult to navigate and find one's way around. The city's traffic can also be overwhelming, with long commutes and congested roads. Furthermore, the cost of living in Sao Paulo is high, making it difficult for expats to adjust to the local economy. Finally, the cultural norms and expectations can be difficult to understand, as they are often quite different from those of other countries," remarked another expat who made the move to Sao Paulo, Brazil.
"The language and they are also very isolated. All the newspapers and TV talk about Brazil and Brazil, not much about the rest of the world problems," explained one expat living in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
