We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Antigua & Barbuda. They wrote...
"Expats in Antigua & Barbuda often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to. The pace of life is slower and more relaxed than in many other countries, and the locals tend to be more laid-back and less focused on material possessions. Additionally, the local language, English Creole, can be difficult to understand for those who are not familiar with it. Furthermore, the local customs and traditions can be quite different from what expats are used to, and it can be difficult to adjust to the new way of life," explained one expat living in Antigua & Barbuda.
