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 Brussels. They wrote...

"Expats in Brussels often find the language barrier to be one of the most challenging aspects of the local culture. With the city being a bilingual hub, many locals are fluent in both French and Dutch, making it difficult for expats to communicate. Additionally, the city's complex bureaucracy can be difficult to navigate, as many of the processes are not well-documented or easily accessible. Furthermore, the cost of living in Brussels is quite high, making it difficult for expats to adjust to the local lifestyle," remarked another expat who made the move to Brussels, Belgium.
