What do expats in Nicaragua appreciate most about the local culture?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they appreciate the most about the local culture in Nicaragua. They wrote...
"The loving, kind, generous personalities of all the people I've met. These people (of which there are many) were mostly bi-lingual Nica's with hearts of gold and silver. I think that's why I didn't suffer so much culture shock. I was immediately surrounded by loving / caring people," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Managua, Nicaragua.
"I guess the depth of the new culture is what I appreciate most. Especially in the states you are conditioned to think the USA is number one in all aspects and that everyone wants to be like an American. Even in a small country like Nicaragua you find they have just as much national pride, historical richness, musical and artistical creativity, etc," commented one expat who made the move to Granada, Nicaragua.
