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 Perugia. They wrote...

"Expats in Perugia often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture. As Italian is the primary language spoken in Perugia, expats may find it difficult to communicate with locals and to access services. Additionally, expats may find the slower pace of life in Perugia to be a challenge, as it is quite different from the hustle and bustle of larger cities. Furthermore, expats may find the local customs and traditions to be unfamiliar and difficult to adjust to," commented one expat who made the move to Perugia, Italy.

"The language. This is THE biggest barrier. Conducting business and getting things done is very confusing. Obtaining a valid Italian driving license is a huge, monumental task that may be beyond my grasp. And, things are legitimately confusing because each region can do things a bit differently. It's hard to find out procedures and how to deal with things because you end up with different answers," remarked another expat in Perugia, Italy.
