What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Road Town, British Virgin Islands, often find the slow pace of life challenging, as the local culture values relaxation and leisure over urgency and efficiency. The laid-back attitude can be frustrating for those used to a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment. Another challenge is the high cost of living. Everything from groceries to housing can be significantly more expensive than in other countries, which can be a shock for newcomers. Language can also be a challenge, as while English is the official language, the local dialect and accents can be difficult to understand initially. The limited availability of certain goods and services can also be a challenge. Many items need to be imported, which can lead to delays and increased costs. Finally, the small island community can feel isolating for some expats, especially those used to living in larger cities. The limited social and professional networks can take some time to adjust to," said another expat in Road Town, the British Virgin Islands.
