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 Taveuni. They wrote...

"Expats in Taveuni often find the slower pace of life challenging, as the local culture values relaxation and leisure over the hustle and bustle of Western societies. The language barrier can also be a significant challenge, as while English is widely spoken, the local dialects and nuances can be difficult to understand. The lack of certain amenities and services that they are accustomed to in their home countries can also be a challenge. The local diet, which is heavily based on seafood and root vegetables, may also be difficult for some expats to adapt to. Additionally, the concept of 'Fiji time', where punctuality is not strictly adhered to, can be frustrating for those used to more rigid schedules. Lastly, the isolation of Taveuni, being a remote island, can be a challenge for expats who are used to being more connected to the rest of the world," said a member in Taveuni, Fiji.
