What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Argentina. They wrote...
"Expats in Argentina often find the language barrier to be one of the most challenging aspects of the local culture. Additionally, the country's bureaucracy and paperwork can be difficult to navigate for those who are not familiar with the system. Furthermore, the Argentinean way of life can be quite different from what expats are used to, and adjusting to the local customs and traditions can be a challenge. Finally, the cost of living in Argentina can be high, making it difficult for expats to find affordable housing and other necessities," remarked another expat who made the move to Argentina.
"Slang language, city life in general after living for years in the suburbs, learning the different ideas of what is rude and polite, different safety measures and a whole other kind of common "street" sense to develop," explained one expat living in Cordoba, Argentina.
