What do expats find most challenging?

We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Boracay Island. They wrote...

"Expats in Boracay Island may find the language barrier to be one of the most challenging aspects of the local culture, as the majority of locals speak Filipino or other regional languages. The laid-back, 'island time' mentality can also be a challenge for those used to a more fast-paced, punctual lifestyle. The local cuisine, which heavily features seafood and rice, may be difficult for some to adapt to, especially those with dietary restrictions or preferences. The tropical climate, while beautiful, can also be challenging due to the high heat and humidity, as well as the potential for typhoons. Lastly, the cultural emphasis on community and family can be overwhelming for those who are more accustomed to a more individualistic society," wrote a member who made the move to Boracay Island, Philippines.
