"Expats in Bogota often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to. The language barrier can be a challenge, as Spanish is the primary language spoken in Bogota. Additionally, the city is quite large and can be overwhelming for those who are not used to living in a big city. The traffic can also be difficult to navigate, as the roads are often congested. Additionally, the local customs and etiquette can be confusing for those who are not familiar with them. Finally, the cost of living in Bogota can be quite high, making it difficult for expats to adjust to the local economy," remarked another expat who made the move to Bogota, Colombia.
