What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Madagascar. They wrote...
"Expatriates in Madagascar often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to. Language barriers can be a challenge, as French and Malagasy are the two official languages, and English is not widely spoken. Additionally, the local customs and traditions can be difficult to understand and navigate. Expats may also find the lack of infrastructure and resources to be a challenge, as well as the slower pace of life," commented one expat who made the move to Madagascar.
