What do expats find most challenging?

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

"Expats in Medellin often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture. Many locals speak Spanish as their primary language, and it can be difficult for expats to communicate with them without a basic understanding of the language. 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 local cuisine to be unfamiliar and challenging to adjust to. Finally, the climate in Medellin can be quite different from what expats are used to, and they may find it difficult to adjust to the heat and humidity," remarked another expat who made the move to Medellin, Colombia.

"Finding a balanced social network can be difficult when you only hang with the Gringos," explained one expat living in Medellin, Colombia.
