What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Sanremo. They wrote...
"Expats in Sanremo often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as not everyone speaks English and communication can be difficult. The slower pace of life can also be a challenge for those used to a faster, more efficient lifestyle. The Italian bureaucracy can be quite complex and frustrating for expats, especially when dealing with paperwork and official procedures. Additionally, the cultural emphasis on social connections and networking can be difficult for newcomers to navigate. Lastly, adjusting to the late dining times and long meal durations can also be a challenge for those not used to the Italian way of life," said a member in Sanremo, Italy.
