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 Taormina. They wrote...

"Expats in Taormina often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as not everyone speaks English and communication can be difficult. The slower pace of life can also be a challenge for those used to a faster, more efficient lifestyle. The Italian concept of time, often referred to as "Italian time", where appointments and schedules are not always strictly adhered to, can be frustrating for some. Additionally, the bureaucracy in Italy can be quite complex and difficult to navigate for expats. Lastly, while Italians are generally warm and welcoming, it can sometimes be difficult for expats to fully integrate into the local community and social circles," said a member in Taormina, Italy.
