What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Wanaka. They wrote...
"Expats in Wanaka often find the laid-back and relaxed pace of life challenging to adjust to, especially if they are used to a fast-paced, high-stress lifestyle. The local culture is very much focused on outdoor activities and nature, which can be a challenge for those who are not used to such a lifestyle. The cost of living can also be a challenge, as it is relatively high compared to other places. Additionally, the isolation of Wanaka, being situated in the South Island, can be difficult for some expats, particularly those who are used to living in bustling cities. Lastly, while English is the primary language, the local Kiwi slang and accent can be difficult to understand for some expats," commented one expat who made the move to Wanaka, New Zealand.
