"Expats in Ocho Rios 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. Expats may also find the pace of life to be slower than what they are accustomed to, as well as the lack of modern amenities and infrastructure. Finally, the hot and humid climate can be a challenge for those who are not used to it," explained one expat living in Ocho Rios, Jamaica.
