Nicaragua - Loving It!

3/9/2010 07:54 EST

Nicaragua is perhaps the most unknown country in the Americas and certainly the most misunderstood. My wife and I moved here four years ago though we had visited for several years before then.

We created a simple website at www.nicasagas.com to put out basic information on Nicaragua and to publish our diaries starting at the date we decided to make Nicaragua our home. I decided to create a more comprehensive website since there was so much misinformation and to give the viewpoint of a normal couple living outside of the USA.

Though the new website is almost completed, I hope it will continue to evolve to answer people's questions. Please feel free to make suggestions for topics you want to see. In addition, I hope to begin posting a lot of topics to expat blogs and forums such as this site.

Nicaragua is not for everyone but it has a lot to offer to those that embrace it.

My wife, Audrey and I are looking to visit Nicaragua in order to assess as to whether or not we would like to make a long term change in lifestyle. We would like to live near or in a nice ocean community. Where would you recommend our first visit to Nicaragua be? Thanks for your insights and knowledge.

I would like to know more about your blog and would like to see more people chating in on this one, there is to little information on Nicaragua, or I haven't found it. I have a friend who is Nicaraguan wiith a business in Nica and Florida, a very nice person who would like for me to spend some time in Nicaragua but I am not sure and my wife is really not sure. Hope we can start hearing from more people who live there.

Hi

I see you both responded to old email of mine. I have since created a more comprehensive website at www.nicaragua-guide.com that has tons of the good, the bad and the ugly on Nicaragua and our diaries.

Feel free to correspond directly to me at for questions or post them here. I have also gone to the dark side and am helping a friend in the real estate business. You can see typical pricing and availability at www.casagranadaproperties.com.

Regards

Darrell
