What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in El Valle de Anton. They wrote...
"Expats in El Valle de Anton often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture. As Spanish is the primary language spoken in the area, many expats find it difficult to communicate with locals and to understand the nuances of the language. Additionally, expats may find the local customs and traditions to be unfamiliar and difficult to adjust to. For example, the concept of “mañana” (tomorrow) is often used in El Valle de Anton, which can be confusing for expats who are used to a more punctual culture. Finally, expats may find the local cuisine to be unfamiliar and challenging to adjust to, as it is often quite different from what they are used to," commented one expat who made the move to El Valle de Anton, Panama.
