I find it difficult that Lima has unreliable people (promises are not kept), lack of punctuality, and impolite people are almost everywhere. — American expat living in Lima

What I struggle with most in Lima is that the traffic! And crazy drivers! Also, the Peruvian sense of time - they are always late. — American expat living in Lima

One thing I don’t like about Lima is that the city has quite high levels of air pollution. It gets a bit hot and humid here in the summer. In the areas on the outskirts of Lima and its surroundings, the standard of living, infrastructure and safety are significantly lower. — American expat living in Lima

Why Americans move abroad … (and do they like it?)

Every year, we publish one of the biggest global surveys for expats — Expat Insider — where we ask people living around the world about every aspect of expat life. We’ve rounded up key facts about the typical American expat: what motivated them to move to a new country, what they enjoy about life abroad, as well as what they struggle with the most.
