What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Poland. They wrote...
"Expats in Poland often find the language barrier to be one of the most challenging aspects of the local culture. Additionally, the country's conservative values and traditional customs can be difficult to adjust to for those coming from more liberal backgrounds. Furthermore, the lack of English-speaking locals can make it difficult to make friends and build a social network. Finally, the cost of living in Poland can be higher than in other countries, making it difficult for expats to find affordable housing and other necessities," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Poland.
"The language is still after 10 years one of the most difficult aspects and the standard of driving although a lot better is a major problem," commented one expat who made the move to Bydgoszcz, Poland.
