What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Pembroke. They wrote...
"Expats in Pembroke often find the high cost of living to be a significant challenge, as the island is known for its expensive housing, groceries, and general living expenses. The slower pace of life, often referred to as "island time", can also be a difficult adjustment for those accustomed to a faster, more immediate lifestyle. Some expats may also struggle with the limited entertainment and shopping options, as Bermuda is a small island with fewer amenities than a large city. Additionally, while English is widely spoken, the local Bermudian accent and slang can sometimes be difficult to understand for newcomers. Lastly, the humid subtropical climate, while appealing to some, can be uncomfortable for those not used to high humidity and heat," said another expat in Pembroke, Bermuda.
