What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Slovakia. They wrote...
"Expats in Slovakia often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture. Many Slovaks speak English, but it is not as widely spoken as in other European countries. Additionally, the Slovak culture is quite traditional and conservative, which can be difficult for expats to adjust to. Slovaks also tend to be quite reserved and formal in their interactions with strangers, which can be intimidating for expats who are used to more open and friendly interactions. Finally, Slovak cuisine can be quite heavy and unfamiliar to expats, making it difficult to find food that they are used to," explained one expat living in Slovakia.
