Hello all,
We are a young family and have dreamed for some years of moving overseas for a time. In preparation we've made some trips in the last two years to Panama and Costa Rica.
We've never been to Nicaragua but feel like it might be the right place for us based on safety, price, and a few other factors.
I'm wondering if I could get some advice for where to focus our research and next visit. What we are looking for is:
- A fairly developed place. I am a dog trainer and operate a dog training website with videos I've created. My plan is to do all of my products in Spanish as well (I speak Spanish). I would need to find a community where there are enough people who view dogs as family members and would be willing to train their dogs. What I've seen in Central America, so far, is that there are plenty of dogs. The dog culture is different, though, in that they wander freely and not much attention is paid to training.
- We want something very affordable yet an enjoyable and culturally rich place for us and our three young kids. We'll be keeping our home and other things in the US while we are gone (probably 6 months to a year) so we can't be in too pricey a spot.
- Ideally there is a nice beach nearby or some sort of water to play in.
Based on these parameters, do you have any suggestions? Thanks.
