What do expats find most challenging?

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

"Expats in Corn Islands often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as Spanish is the official language and English is not widely spoken. Additionally, the pace of life is much slower than what many expats are used to, which can be frustrating for those accustomed to a faster, more efficient lifestyle. The lack of certain amenities and services, such as high-speed internet and modern healthcare facilities, can also be a challenge. Some expats may also struggle with the local cuisine, which is heavily based on seafood and may not cater to all dietary preferences or restrictions. Lastly, adjusting to the local customs and traditions, as well as the laid-back, island lifestyle, can be difficult for some expats," commented one expat who made the move to Corn Islands, Nicaragua.
