What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Romania. They wrote...
"Expats in Romania often find the language barrier to be one of the most challenging aspects of the local culture. Additionally, the cultural norms and expectations can be difficult to navigate, as they are often quite different from those of other countries. Furthermore, the bureaucracy and paperwork associated with living in Romania can be overwhelming for expats who are not used to the system. Finally, the cost of living in Romania can be higher than in other countries, making it difficult for expats to adjust to the local economy," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Romania.
"For me language and social aspects of racial inequalities. Poverty seems well accepted for some groups," commented one expat who made the move to Cluj Napoca, Romania.
