What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Parma. They wrote...
"Expats in Parma often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture. As Italian is the primary language spoken in Parma, expats may find it difficult to communicate with locals and to access services. Additionally, expats may find the Italian bureaucracy to be a challenge, as the paperwork and processes can be complex and time-consuming. Furthermore, expats may find the Italian lifestyle to be quite different from what they are used to, as the pace of life is generally slower and the culture is more traditional," wrote a member who made the move to Parma, Italy.
