"Expats in Lance aux Epines often find the slower pace of life challenging, as they are used to a faster, more structured lifestyle. The concept of 'island time' can be frustrating, especially when dealing with administrative tasks or business matters. Language can also be a challenge, as although English is the official language, the local dialect can be difficult to understand. The lack of certain amenities and services that they are used to in their home countries can also be a challenge. This includes limited shopping options, less advanced healthcare facilities, and fewer entertainment options. The high cost of living is another challenge faced by expats. Imported goods, groceries, and housing can be quite expensive compared to other countries. Lastly, adjusting to the local cuisine can be difficult for some expats, especially those who are not used to Caribbean food. The heavy use of spices and different cooking methods can be a shock to the system," wrote a member who made the move to Lance aux Epines, Grenada.
