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 Husavik. They wrote...

"Expats in Husavik often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as Icelandic is a complex language to learn and is predominantly spoken in the area. The long, dark winters can also be difficult for those not accustomed to such extreme weather conditions. The small town lifestyle and isolation can be a challenge for those used to living in larger, more cosmopolitan areas. The local diet, which includes traditional Icelandic foods like fermented shark and dried fish, can also be a hurdle for some expats. Lastly, the high cost of living in Iceland can be a significant challenge for many expats," remarked another expat who made the move to Husavik, Iceland.
