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 Clifden. They wrote...

"Expats in Clifden may find the local dialect and accents challenging to understand, as Irish English can be quite different from other forms of English. The slower pace of life in this small town might also be a challenge for those accustomed to the hustle and bustle of larger cities. The weather, often rainy and cold, can be a significant adjustment for expats from warmer climates. Additionally, the local culture is deeply rooted in traditions and customs that may be unfamiliar to outsiders, which could lead to feelings of isolation or misunderstanding. Lastly, while the Irish are known for their friendliness, it can still take time to form deep connections and fully integrate into the tight-knit community," remarked another expat in Clifden, Ireland.
