What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Bolivia. They wrote...
"Expats in Bolivia often find the language barrier to be one of the most challenging aspects of the local culture. Additionally, the country's high altitude can be difficult to adjust to, especially for those coming from lower altitudes. Expats may also find the local customs and traditions to be unfamiliar and difficult to understand. Furthermore, the country's infrastructure can be unreliable and difficult to navigate, making it difficult for expats to get around. Finally, the cost of living in Bolivia can be high, making it difficult for expats to find affordable housing and other necessities," remarked another expat in Bolivia.
"Corruption on a large scale, feeling powerless to fight against it when things weren't going my way. Coping with the bureaucracy," said a member in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia.
