Rovinj, Croatia
What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Rovinj. They wrote...
"Expats in Rovinj often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture. Croatian is a Slavic language and can be difficult to learn, especially for those who are used to Romance or Germanic languages. Another challenge is the slower pace of life, which can be frustrating for those used to a faster, more efficient pace. Things often take longer than expected in Rovinj, from getting a driver's license to setting up a bank account. The bureaucracy in Croatia can also be a challenge for expats. There can be a lot of red tape involved in simple tasks, and the process can be confusing and time-consuming. Understanding and adapting to the local customs and traditions can also be a challenge. Croatians are generally very traditional and conservative, and it can take time for expats to understand and respect these traditions. Finally, while Croatians are generally friendly and welcoming, it can take time to build deep relationships. Croatians tend to have close-knit circles of friends and family, and it can be difficult for expats to break into these circles," commented one expat who made the move to Rovinj, Croatia.
