What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Gros Islet. They wrote...
"Expats in Gros Islet often find the language barrier to be a significant challenge, as the local dialect, a form of Creole, can be difficult to understand and learn. The pace of life is also much slower than what many expats are used to, which can lead to frustration when dealing with local businesses or bureaucracy. Cultural differences in attitudes towards time and punctuality can also be challenging, as locals often operate on 'island time', which can be much more relaxed and flexible than what expats are used to. Additionally, while the local cuisine is delicious, it can be quite different from what expats are accustomed to, and adjusting to the local diet can be a challenge. Lastly, while Saint Lucia is generally safe, crime can be an issue in certain areas, and expats may need to take extra precautions to ensure their safety," said another expat in Gros Islet, Saint Lucia.
