@@lizashley8169 Thank you for your good words and insight. the Surf is an interesting Toyota model, now they came up with all kinds of names for the same model in different countries. Paraguay is very unique in allowing steering wheel conversions. Though they now do have decades of experiences with it and when done right, there is nothing to worry about. Our car is now with us for more than 65k km and the steering wheel conversions was never a problem. That being said, it is also possible to get non converted trucks like that in Paraguay. For example the official Toyota distributor only sells non converted cars, imported from the US. Though these cars usually have a slightly higher price tag. I am actually working on two more videos on cars in Paraguay. A Car travel guide for paraguay and an in depth look into our car. So stay tuned for that. Maybe it offers some more insight for your life in Paraguay. Feel free to reach out to me with the link in the description and we can talk some more about your residency and car purchase.

@@HaveYourADVENTURE Thanks for your answer, though I think it may have got cropped lol. I like to have my dogs with me in the car, and this model allows it. Rather than have no contact if the cab is separate from the rear. Also full size allows plenty of room for me to sleep inside, which as I prefer the reliablity of Toyota, I don't think any other of their models offer the same?

@@lizashley8169 not sure what you mean with getting cropped? I can see the full length of your comments and i assume you can see mine, at least i can see it on the youtube app. We have the Toyota LandCruiser Prado. It is a very similar model to the Toyota Hilux Surf. The biggest difference is the Prado has a bit better build quality and permanent 4 wheel drive. You can still activate differential locks and low gear if needed. The Hilux Surf is 2 wheel drive and can be switched to 4 wheel drive. The inside offers similar amounts of space. The Prado has a second row of seats for a 6th or 7th person but you can retract them or remove them. We sleep inside the car sometimes, the two of us. We fit an air mattress, not perfect, because im pretty tall but doable. Im working on two videos about traveling by car in Paraguay and our Toyota Prado.

@@HaveYourADVENTURE Absolutely. I will defo stay in touch. But also keep up to date with your posts meantime. Hope to be out early next year to process all legal things and will also give the car specs. Keep up the wonderful info and vids. Sounds like your suggestion of the USA imports more appealing to me x

@@realsilverr its a beak full pace. The next one about Paraguay is in the works already. Maybe i can release it in a week.

Obrigado por compartilhar seu amor com o Paraguai. É realmente um país incrível com uma cultura muito única.

thank you for sharing your vision here. yea Paraguay offers many opportunities for free living. drilling a well is possible at many places. The lake water isnt great but it is getting better, but the water underground is excellent.

@@soorinrinn perfect. Absolutely. First you have the 2 year residency and then you can extend it to 10 years. With your Cedula you can open a business and get a tax number. If you are looking for a contact to work this out, you can book a free call with me with the link in the description and i can refer you to the right person.

@@waltergutierrez7837 hey thanks for sharing the prices. It’s good to know what to expect. Unfortunately the current import ban has not helped. I am sure for a while things will stay expensive. As with many things in Paraguayan politics though, things tend to calm down after a while and new ways will be found. So let’s hope for that.

Paul wanted to say those towns I mentioned could be considered urban areas like I’m sure you know but my wife’s family home is in a perfect location but just a short drive by car to town Maybe 7 or 8 minutes but very countryside to me. Giant mango trees all over the place

@@joececere4918 THank you so much for your comment. It’s great to hear from you. We love the area around the Ypacarai lake. It’s a perfect mix between countryside and connection to the city. We are currently close to Caaccupe. It feels like a relaxed location to us. Let us know if you are around someday. Who knows maybe our paths can cross in real life. Thanks Joe for reaching out. I wish you and your family well. Take care.

@@marcelloribeiro2750 true that, thank you!

@@krisnharn2950 happy to help. Feel free to schedule a call with me and we can see what we can do for you: calendly.com/trausner/adventure-is-calling

@@krisnharn2950 absolutely we teamed up with the best. Feel free to schedule a call with me and we can talk about your options: calendly.com/trausner/adventure-is-calling

@@joececere4918 thank you so much for your good words and for sharing your story. It’s great to get different perspectives on life in Paraguay. I am glad you found your love and luck with the culture. Who knows, maybe we come across each other one day. I try to post some more useful Paraguay content on my Channel. I got a good new video in the works already.

@@donwalker3683 thank you for commenting. It was a hard video to make. Im still struggling with some of its content.

@@HaveYourADVENTURE - Hey brother - The way that you handled yourself in this video- it takes a lot of inner strength that not everyone manages to come up with. To publicly put yourself out there and apologize, to hold yourself accountable (and to your own standards) it’s so very honorable. In my experience, I think you’ll find that almost immediately you’ll feel stronger and have more fortitude to continue on with your journey in videos. For myself, I hope you do because I think you’re a great resource in the knowledge that you’re sharing with us. So thanks again , you’ve inspired me purchase that ticket and get down to South America. Now I just have to pick where to begin my own adventure! ‘Best to you :)

@@donwalker3683 thank you for your good words. Im glad to know i can reach you and some others out there. Im trying my best to deliver honest content, even if it is not always received well by the audience. Im currently working on another longer video about my journey’s through South America. I hope go live with it soon.

@@marciafranco1863 ¿Dónde vives en Paraguay? ¿En una gran ciudad? Acabamos de visitar a nuestros amigos en el campo y literalmente todos, incluidos ellos, tienen múltiples armas. Todos los vecinos están armados. Tal vez no sepas que tus vecinos están armados. No todo el mundo está hablando de eso.

@@KRAT0S_son_of_zeus are you referring that to the gun laws being most liberal in the US or that PY is one of the most liberal gun law country in Latin America?

@HaveYourADVENTURE im reffering to the paraguayan Gouvernement not allowing suppresors and any good caliber carbines

@ ah yea. That is an unfortunate worldwide dilemma. They know they are doing a bad job and they are all afraid of being overthrown by strong men with strong guns. The good thing about PY is that there is the rules of the government and then there is the open market of choosing whatever it is you desire.

@@HaveYourADVENTURE if you are reffering to the black market, i maybe know somebody who could know somebody that could get you an m4 and all that fun stuff, in call of duty ofc

@@KRAT0S_son_of_zeus all is possible in Paraguay, it is just a question of money and connections. The good thing about Paraguay though is that also the regular laws regarding the Guns is fairly liberal and one can be well protected legally. I appreciate that aspect.

I recommend watching my video on Paraguay Residency. It’s not super easy to get Paraguay residency for everyone but it is still one of the easiest countries to get residency in the whole world.

@@nickaoke thank you for sharing. Yea with so many things, it depends on where you are along that border. There are some places, especially border towns further north, that are not very recommended. Sure some places in Ciudad del Este are not so nice either but CdE also has very beautiful neighborhoods and you can have a great life there. Also a bit further north in Hernandarias, you can live in an Eco Oasis. We spent a month there and had a wonderfully relaxing time. I mentioned it in my video about the luxury Paraguay city Life.

@@Fraud-in-Paraiso_Paraguay thank you for having you here. Paraguay does attract all kinds of people. Though it is still less known for it’s tourism. But people love to move to Paraguay these days. A fair amount to the cities and the majority to the countryside. Where in Paraguay do you call your home?
