What do expats find most challenging?

"One of the most challenging aspects of the local culture for expats in Saltillo is the language barrier. Many people in Saltillo only speak Spanish, and without a working knowledge of the language, expats can find it difficult to navigate everyday life. Additionally, Guatemalan culture is highly traditional and religion plays an important role in many social activities, which can be difficult for expats from more secular backgrounds to adjust to. Another challenge is the climate, which is typically hot and arid year-round, which can make it difficult to adapt to the outdoor lifestyle. Lastly, the presence of crime in certain areas can be concerning for those moving to Saltillo, and careful planning and research is necessary to ensure safety," remarked another expat in Saltillo, Mexico.
