What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Vik. They wrote...
"Expats in Vik often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as Icelandic is a complex language that can be difficult to learn. The small population and isolated location can also make it difficult for expats to find a sense of community or to access certain amenities and services. The harsh weather conditions, particularly in winter, can be a significant challenge for those not used to such climates. Additionally, the high cost of living in Iceland can be a shock for many expats. Lastly, the slower pace of life and the locals' reserved nature can be difficult for expats from more outgoing cultures to adjust to," commented one expat who made the move to Iceland.
