What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Gisborne may find the laid-back, slow-paced lifestyle challenging if they are used to a fast-paced, high-stress environment. The local Maori culture is deeply ingrained in the community, and some expats may struggle to understand and respect the customs and traditions. The isolation of Gisborne, being one of the most remote cities in New Zealand, can also be challenging for expats who are used to living in bustling, cosmopolitan areas. The local dialect and accent can also be difficult to understand for some expats. Lastly, the cost of living can be high, especially for those who are used to cheaper living costs in their home countries," remarked another expat who made the move to Gisborne, New Zealand.
