Beautiful video, very informative and full of good tips, I would add about a car that the streets on Nicaragua have bump speeds to stop people from driving fast and some are the size of Mount EVEREST (just a tiny exaggeration) if you don't pay attention, you and your passengers will hit the roof and go flying. Are you in Jinotega? Cheers my friend.
Another Great video Elton !!!!!! We’re definitely on the same wave length !!! I’m preparing for my exit plan for some Nica-time !! Muchas Gracias !!!! I do have a few more questions for the next video. #1. How much stuff can you bring on the plane !!!! There some items that I can’t seem to let go ( 10 one gallon yeti water jugs, my tools and my clothes I have big & tall sizes like 6XLT ( I’m 6’2 370 lbs.). #2. Are there any Storage Units that I can rent ??? #3. How do I ship a small container or a couple of pallets from the U.S.. #4. Should I get everything 1st in the U.S. and fly with the stuff or can I ship a couple of boxes, like surf board and other odd shape items. #5. How much are the car rentals, is there a budget friendly rental ?? Am I able to learn to ride a horse and buggy ?? Off road trucks for the mountains ? #6. How do you find a place to rent ? Can you get a 1 mo., 3 mo, 6 mo. Lease ?? Should I get there first and then look ? Can I rent with a family ??? #7. Which airline and airport is best coming from the States. Cost and Luggage amounts. Thank you Elton & Emense Coffee Familia !!!
Hello body,i just suscribe tp your channel,but i have been watching your videos and your great family you have. I was born in Nicaragua and went to Miami in 1973 until 2021 when i retired from work ,now a live in managua and perhaps one day i visit your coffee farm at north and meet you in person to taste your coffee.i wish you the best for you and your wife and your son.May God bless you all the time.thank you for reading my comments.Marcos M.
I suggest for your first visit, starting in Managua use taxi's as driving is a crazy experience then get a rental once you have experienced city driving. Rental cars from the name brand companys are expensive & you imediately stand out as a gringo, but that is actually good as the locals are even more accomodating when you turn into a one way street the wrong way! Dont be surprised if you get the odd hussle from the country cops to donate $20-30 but by & large they are fantastic ambassadors. Without doubt the locals are amoungst the friendliest & more helpfull people anywhere, and feels far safer than US or Australia - a visit should be on your bucket list for sure
My husband and I are planning to do road trip from Phoenix, Arizona through Mexico and to the central America. I wonder if there’s any issues crossing the border and driving in Nicaragua in an American car.thank you.
How much an acre of land cost in Nicaragua (in the area where you live, the north)? Is Spanish a requirement or can I i get away with only knowing English? Thanks.
An acre will depend on location, the prices can vary $1,000 - $5,000. If you are looking for land in the center of the city, that will go up even higher. You can make it our without spanish.
If I want to buy a property to build a house over there, how do you go about it? Do you have to pay all the money in cash or can you barrow money from the bank as a loan to buy a property or a house? Do you need a lawyer for the transaction and where or how do you find one you can trust? Where and how do you find an architect or contractor to build a house? Can you rent an automatic car over there? I hear most vehicles are stick shift. Why would you bring appliances from the US, don’t they sell appliances over there? What items are good to bring from the US if you’re moving to Nicaragua to live? What kind of businesses are good to have in Nicaragua? What was the most difficult and most rewarding thing for you since you moved over there from the the US? Comparing US vs Nicaragua. When you actually moved to Nicaragua, what did you bring with you? Did you sell everything in the US and just took clothing or did you put everything in a container and shipped it to Nicaragua? If yes, how was it? If no, why not? What do you miss most about the US and what do you like the most about Nicaragua? The reason I ask all these questions is because I am contemplating retiring over there, however, I would like to have at least a little business to entertain myself with. I would like to buy like half an acre or an acre to build my own house and make it a mini farm for me and my family. Your comments/opinions are greatly appreciated. Thank you!🙌
9 out 10 stops will be good. Google works good enough but does not Work as exact as it does in the United states. Es la verdad. Thx for taking the time to make this video
I still want to do an interview podcast style video with you. Im 30 yrs old and been here since 2019. I got funny and crazy stories. And of course, i need to buy some coffee too!!
Thanks for the helpful information. If I want to travel around a bit and check out different areas for future relocation .... is 3 - 4 weeks a good time frame to get a rough impression?
@@cleaneatingwithclaudiaepic4895 exciting! That’s a good start once you are here a lot of questions will be answered! If I can help in anyway let me know. Cheers
Great questions, excellent answers! Thanks
Blessings!
