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 Roatan. They wrote...

"Expats in Roatan often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as Spanish is the primary language spoken and not everyone is fluent in English. The slower pace of life, known as "island time", can also be a challenge for those accustomed to a more fast-paced, punctual lifestyle. Additionally, the lack of certain amenities and services that they may be used to in their home countries, such as high-speed internet or certain healthcare services, can be difficult to adjust to. Some expats also find it challenging to navigate the local bureaucracy, which can be complex and time-consuming. Lastly, cultural differences in communication styles, social norms, and expectations can also pose challenges for expats," remarked another expat who made the move to Roatan, Honduras.
