What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Volcan. They wrote...
"Expats in Volcan 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 faster, more hectic lifestyle. Additionally, the concept of "Panama time," where punctuality is not as strictly adhered to as in some other cultures, can be difficult to adjust to. Some expats may also struggle with the lack of certain amenities and conveniences they were used to in their home countries. Lastly, understanding and navigating the local bureaucracy can be a challenge, particularly when it comes to legal matters or dealing with public services," explained one expat living in Volcan, Panama.
