What do people like (and dislike) about Tola?
When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Tola, they replied...
"After Covid took over, we minimized travel outside of our community. Local driving services now provide shopping services each week so that we can get food and some supplies without leaving home. We have 5 restaurants in the community. They mainly had served take-out meals for many months, but have started re-opening with on-site dining (mostly outdoor dining.) We have recently made a few driving trips to the capital city of Managua for medical care and shopping. We generally feel safe due to "standard precautions" generally in place, although it does increase our potential exposure. I have some concern with increasing exposure to others, but so far we have not had any Covid-related issues. We previously lived in Tamarindo, Costa Rica for 5 years. I liked it a bit more as there were more services and conveniences (stores, restaurants, etc) available. But Nicaragua is lower cost and living near family is a big plus. And living in a gated community during Covid has likely provided us better protection," explained one expat living in Tola, Nicaragua.
