What do expats find most challenging?

We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Levuka. They wrote...

"Expats in Levuka 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 of Fijian can be difficult to understand and learn. Additionally, the concept of 'Fiji time', where punctuality is not strictly adhered to, can be frustrating for those used to more rigid schedules. The local diet, which is heavily based on seafood, root vegetables, and tropical fruits, may also be a challenge for those not accustomed to such foods. Lastly, the high humidity and tropical climate can be difficult to adjust to, particularly for those from cooler climates," explained one expat living in Levuka, Fiji.
