What do expats find most challenging?

Answer this Question

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

"Expats in Speightstown often find the laid-back, slow-paced lifestyle challenging to adapt to, especially if they are used to a fast-paced, high-stress environment. The local dialect, Bajan, can also be difficult to understand for those not familiar with it, making communication a challenge. The island's high cost of living can also be a shock for some expats, as goods and services are often more expensive than in their home countries. Additionally, the heat and humidity can be uncomfortable for those not used to tropical climates. Lastly, some expats may find it challenging to navigate the local bureaucracy, which can be slow and inefficient," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Speightstown, Barbados.
