My wife and I are on a road trip in Nicaragua right now!! We are currently spending our last evening in Leon before continuing our journey!! Thank you Scott !! 😃
As someone who has done exactly that on exactly that amount of money and worked with wheelchair bound folks the #1 issue I see is that! the busses are great BUT have no wheelchair access and even though some streets have cutouts at curbs it would be very very difficult to get around in a wheel chair ..It cost me about 1200 dollars to outfit my place but did bring a small projector to watch tv on..In Leon I rented 2 different apartments for 175 and 145 1 a pretty good sized 2 bedroom and 1 a small 1 bedroom..neither had AC andf it got reaslly hot towards end of Sept so I moved to Matagalpa where temps are better..Hope this helps the lady..I am fluent in Spanish and that helps a whole bunch
Lake Nicaragua is the home of the only fresh water sharks in the world 😎 there is a lot of drone footage on TH-cam for a country where drones are prohibited
I know. i talk to people about it a lot. lots of confiscated drones too, though. most drone footage is people taking risks and not posting till they leave the country. i live here and am totally identifiable so can't do that.
Hello Scott ! Thanks again ! Nica is very safe indeed . Canada’s gouvernment tell his citizens to be very carefull of you decide to travel in Nicaragua. It is dangerous! That’s false of course. Nica is a muy bonito païs and Nicaraguayens are peaceful and proud. M&M
@@MichelDagenais-lz3kv it’s safe for tourists. For micas it is not safe, 10% of the country is in exile right now , it’s a human rights disaster. Don’t talk politics and you should be fine .
@@andresluna351 I have to challenge your statement that 10% of Nicaraguans are in exile. I just read 10 articles from very anti-nicaraguan (Voice of America, Amnesty Int'l, etc.) and the numbers they give are 200+ in 2023 and 300+ in 2024, so, 0.01% if my math is right. The majority of those exiles were taken in by the US so you can draw your own conclusions as to whether those exiles might've been agitating for a hostile foreign agency. Since you base your premise that it's not safe for nicas on the false figure of 10% of nicas are in exile your premise falls flat. Unless you can produce reliable documentation that 660K nicas are in involuntary exile I have to challenge that claim.
@andresluna351 who are you afraid of in North America that you'd give up your integrity to post something so obviously false? I assume some immigration officer in the US is looking over your shoulder right now making sure you write what they tell you to write?
@dkurtz1162 and those numbers from VoA and others include all the voluntary exile which, AFAIK, is all but like four or five people. The US exiled that many US citizens just last month to Mexico (which doesn't make it good, just a comparison.) In nearly all cases it was "optional exile instead of jail time" for normal crimes. That's not actually deportation, that's expatting if done anywhere else in the world. Imagine how many Americans in prison would opt to go live in another country instead of in prison if the option was given to them!
My wife and I are planning our life in a skoolie. I found you on your video about Caye Caulker, and have since subscribed. Do you have any information on RV camping (preferably free and long term) in Nicaragua? I would love to correspond with you regarding these issues. If you approve, I will post my email address. BTW, I'm from the Thumb area and used to sing in the Flint Male Chorus. I currently exist in Traverse City.
I do have an email... scott@latinamericanliving.com I've never seen an RV in Nicaragua. There are no hookups or accomodations for them. Legal, of course, but common, no. So you'd be very much stuck with a huge vehicle that will struggle with many of the roads and you'd be negotiating locations to park/camp wherever you go. Camping itself is really not a thing here, generally, so even that is rare. It's not like there are campgrounds around. Of course someone camps, it's just super rare and often it's in parking lots or secretly in a field (I've seen youtubers do that.) An RV here would be super fun, I wish that I could afford one AND had the money to make RV camps all over the country, lol.
Very informative.
Thank you!

Oh that's awesome. I wish I'd have seen this before I got home. I just left downtown.

How do landlords feel about subletting? If you had a long term lease would it violate the typical rental agreement?
It's hard to say what normal is. My own experience is that subletting has not been allowed.
