What do expats find most challenging?

We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Siguatepeque. They wrote...

"Expats in Siguatepeque often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as Spanish is the primary language spoken and not everyone is fluent in English. The slower pace of life can also be a challenge for those accustomed to a more fast-paced, structured environment. Additionally, the local customs and traditions may be difficult to understand and adapt to, especially for those from significantly different cultural backgrounds. The lack of certain amenities and services that they might be used to in their home countries can also be a challenge. Lastly, safety and security issues can be a concern, as Honduras has high crime rates in certain areas," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Siguatepeque, Honduras.

"Backwardness, bureaucracy, security and safety. Also, because I don't know how things work, the most basic task can be very daunting--buying groceries, opening a bank account, even taking a walk," commented one expat who made the move to Siguatepeque, Honduras.
