You are absolutely correct that the right connections and relationships are essential in Paraguay. On the surface, things appear not to be there until you find out and realize where they are and how to get things done right. I am a native-born Paraguayan. Welcome!
@@ADirtCheapLifeParaguay I like yours interviews and I hope maybe I can meet you in person next time I’m in Paraguay. I was, with my family, twice over there and acquired the CEDULA and I’m ready to take the next step but my wife still has some doubts. We living in Norway by the way.
It would be good to meet. Please let us know when you're in our neighbourhood next time. We appreciate your wife's reluctance. It's a huge move. Our hope is that by posting enough videos of different people we can show that it is possible to make a good life here. But it isn't easy. Having said that, for us it's far easier than to stay in the place we once called home and to tolerate the BS that has become life there.
@@watchful. If she prefers to speak norwegian, please let @adirtcheaplifeparaguay know and they will find you people here who speak Swedish and even some Norwegian. Also Finnish is spoken here in the area as well
Thanks for the good interview. I agree with many things but I disagree with the insulation part. My family and I ,we have built our house from scratch and we focused on the insulation a lot. Every time on those hot days l’m so happy we did. Double pane windows ,( at least the glass) are very affordable and together with the wall and roof insulation you can save a lot of energy , even the size of the air conditioning unit you have to buy.
Good point with the issue regarding moving and sports - Back at home I used to go to work by bicycle every day but now in Paraguay I drive almost everywhere by car. A couple of weeks ago I hit the road with my bicycle here in Caacupe/Atyra and it was a really great experience after a break of 1 1/2 years from bicycling. There is not much traffic on certain areas and the scenery during the sunset is really beautiful. From now on I try to make my bicycle tours at least 2-3 a week. I highly recommend all bicycle enthusiasts to take their bicycles to Paraguay!
Hi Pudosch. Would be nice if you make videos from your environment. Share some please. Its starting to be crowded as more people move there. Thank you for sharing 💛
To find good cheese and bread try Casa Rica, an upscale supermarket in Asuncion (three different locations), with imported goods from Europe; they have a nice restaurant as well,
Good work! 40-45 Degree Celsius is heavy You need Air Con I live on the Atherton Tableland near Cairns on 860 Meter above Sea Level Temperatur 10 to 35 own house and land 4000sqm Property prices are out of control here in Australia 🇦🇺 But Health Care and Pension is a lot better than in Paraguay 🇵🇾 Originally from Germany 🇩🇪 All the best for and a good start if you migrate to Paraguay
Wow!! 40-45 C that about 104-113 degrees and that with 100% humidity. We will melt!! It gets hot here in Southern Missouri, but rarely above 100. Any place in the country were its cooler???
It is cooler further South in PY. Siesta in the middle of the day still happens here...things really slow down in the midday heat and everything comes back to life when the sun sets!
Well, the humidity is actually worse in southern Texas, with 45-50 degrees in the summer. It is humid in Paraguay in the summer but less than in Texas; still it is hot in both places,

Hi Jacqueline, It's not too extreme. It is more the case that the buildings aren't particularly well designed for it (most of the time). I don't know the actual measurements, but my feeling is that it's more humid in parts of NZ & OZ than here.
The best seasons in Paraguay are the Fall beginning in May, the winter in June, July, August, and the Spring until beginning of October or so. Then, the temperatures may dip all the way down to the teens at night and rise to 25 degrees or more during the day, with low humidity, with sunny, blue skies. However, temperatures often fluctuate up and down, giving people a break from the cold (and the heat). After that, the heat begins from NOV-DEC to beginning of April. The worst summer months are FEB, March and some in April. AC is a must during the summer, in my opinion,
Forget about Paraguay it’s a very volatile country and you can ended up in a nasty surprising mass. And luckily if you don’t loose your life in the end. Paraguayans are for themselves and the government doesn’t protect you they look up to their people only. After all you’re a just a useless foreigner and you don’t mean nothing to them. Very, very sad what happened to my family!…My father brought property and settled in Paraguay built a beautiful farm peacefully home life with 7 small kids and one baby on the way. We were living there for about ten years, when they came to our door with guns, told my father to pick up his family and leave by next day, go back to his country to never comeback, otherwise hey would kill him and his family. We left as told. Sadly my father die from a stroke 7 months later caused by the loss of livelihood. My mother has the 8th baby one week after my father died. The saddest part is that they still doing this till these days. It’s a fact and it’s the truth. So please do diligence and beware. Please make sure you have guns if possible, and a good attorney in your home country to protect yourself and your family.
If this happened as you say then that's an unfortunate situation. It's also the first and only story I've heard like that. I don't know who you are referring to when you say 'they'? I can only say, if this were happening on a consistent basis it would be impossible that I would not be hearing about it. Bad things happen in many countries. Paraguay is by far the safest country I have ever lived in.
I am not fully clued up regarding this, but I understand 'rights' are (in theory) protected under the constitution. I have heard Paraguay has a reputation for corruption, however which govt from Alaska to Chile that doesn't? I saw innocent people smashed on the lawn of Parliament House in NZ by the Govt, so what's written in any bill or declaration is meaningless to me.

Cheers for tuning in.
And where is ‘this man’ living in Paraquay? And what is his name etc. etc. Please more clear information. Thank you.

Any place in the country were its cooler???
Encarnacion in the south

Thanks for all the great info. I wonder if a window mount de-humidifier would help to prevent mold issues.
A de-humidifier would definitely help. I guess with adequate ventilation you can achieve the desired outcome without having to pay for electricity.
What city does he live in? Any details on him to follow his journey? Thanks

That high humidity would kill me that’s worse that Northland lol

Do they have a constitution with a bill of rights? Paraguay has a reputation for corrupt government, not just a paradise.
