"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," said a member in Bucharest, Romania.
