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 Novigrad. They wrote...

"Expats in Novigrad often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as Croatian is a Slavic language that can be difficult to learn. Additionally, the pace of life in Novigrad is typically slower than what many expats are used to, which can require a significant adjustment. Some expats also find it challenging to navigate the local bureaucracy, which can be complex and time-consuming. The cultural emphasis on close-knit family and community ties can also be difficult for expats who are used to a more individualistic society. Lastly, while Croatians are generally welcoming, it can take time to fully integrate into the local community and develop deep relationships," remarked another expat who made the move to Novigrad, Croatia.
