What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Tola often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as Spanish is the primary language spoken and not everyone is fluent in English. The slower pace of life can also be a challenge for those accustomed to a faster, more structured lifestyle. Additionally, the lack of certain amenities and services that they might be used to in their home countries, such as high-speed internet or a wide variety of shopping options, can be difficult to adjust to. The cultural emphasis on relationships and personal connections can also be challenging for expats who are used to more transactional interactions. Lastly, adjusting to the local cuisine, which is heavily based on rice, beans, and corn, can be a challenge for some," remarked another expat who made the move to Tola, Nicaragua.
