Guatemala
What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Guatemala. They wrote...
"The chronic noise of vehicles... grinding gears, horns and just general loudness not of the people but the blaring speakers and vehicles....non stop chaos.....! Arrgh! The other challenge in Guatemala is finding a decent WIFI signal. Not common like up in USA or Canada...at all," remarked another expat in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala.
"Security (18 murders per day, many robberies), understanding people (learning a new language), not working," said a member in Guatemala City, Guatemala.
