We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in El Salvador. They wrote...

"Expats in El Salvador often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to. Language barriers can be a challenge, as Spanish is the primary language spoken in El Salvador. Additionally, the local customs and traditions can be difficult to understand and navigate. Expats may also find the local infrastructure and transportation system to be inadequate and unreliable. Finally, the high levels of poverty and crime can be a source of stress and anxiety for expats," remarked another expat in El Salvador.

"The way of thinking is very different than someone born and raised in US, Canada, UK, Australia or Western Europe - Often 'never the twain shall meet'," said a member in San Salvador, El Salvador.
