What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Negril. They wrote...
"Expats in Negril often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to. The language barrier can be a challenge, as English is not widely spoken in the area. Additionally, the local customs and traditions can be difficult to understand and navigate. The climate can also be a challenge, as the area is very hot and humid for much of the year. Finally, the cost of living can be higher than what expats are used to, as prices for goods and services can be higher than in other parts of the world," explained one expat living in Negril, Jamaica.

"Driving is the most challenging aspect of this new culture, because of the bad roads and driving on the opposite side of the road is definitely a challenge! Health care is another concern of mine, but for now I'm not letting that stop me from living my dream," said another expat in Negril, Jamaica.
