What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Varna. They wrote...
"Putting up with terrible drivers. Streets in many cities are very narrow and cars are parked every which-way on sidewalks or wherever. Speed limits for the most part are not observed and very seldom enforced. I will admit that the new government is trying to crack down on speeders with cameras," remarked another expat who made the move to Varna, Bulgaria.
"Expats in Varna often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture. As Bulgarian is not a widely spoken language, it can be difficult for expats to communicate with locals. Additionally, the local customs and traditions can be difficult to understand and navigate for those who are not familiar with them. Expats may also find the slower pace of life in Varna to be a challenge, as it can be difficult to adjust to the more relaxed lifestyle," explained one expat living in Varna, Bulgaria.
