"Expats in Boca Chica, Dominican Republic often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as Spanish is the primary language spoken and not everyone is fluent in English. The pace of life can also be a challenge, as it is typically slower than what many expats are used to, which can lead to frustrations when dealing with local businesses or bureaucracy. Some expats may also struggle with the local customs and social norms, which can be quite different from their home countries. The high levels of poverty and associated social issues can also be difficult for some expats to adjust to. Lastly, while the Dominican Republic is generally safe, crime can be a concern in certain areas, and expats may need to take extra precautions to ensure their personal safety," explained one expat living in Boca Chica, the Dominican Republic.
