What do expats find most challenging?

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

"Trash everywhere, Strays dogs (they killed my beagle puppy) and the way the drive (dear lord, they drive crazy)," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Bucharest, Romania.

"Expats often find settling in and adjusting to a new culture challenging. This includes adopting new customs and familiarizing themselves with laws and regulations. In addition, mastering the language and learning the basics of daily life in a new country can be difficult for those who do not speak the language. Furthermore, expats can struggle to make friends and find ways to build a support network. Establishing trust with colleagues and finding a job can also be a challenge, especially if they are unfamiliar with the local job market. Social isolation, a lack of cultural understanding, homesickness, and a lack of access to services they are accustomed to are all potential sources of difficulty," commented one expat who made the move to Bucharest, Romania.
