What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Makarska Riviera often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as Croatian is a difficult language to learn and not everyone speaks English. They may also struggle with the slower pace of life, which is common in Mediterranean countries but can be frustrating for those used to a faster, more efficient pace. The bureaucracy can be another challenge, as it can be complex and time-consuming to navigate. Additionally, some expats may find it difficult to integrate into the local community, as Croatians tend to have close-knit social circles and it can take time to be accepted. Lastly, while the local cuisine is delicious, it is heavily meat-based, which can be challenging for vegetarians or vegans," remarked another expat who made the move to Makarska Riviera, Croatia.
