Hello!
I am glad I found this forum, there seems to be a great community with a ton of information.
I am a single male in my early 30s considering making a move to Nicaragua. I am tired of the big city rat race here in California and am interested in a slower more peaceful lifestyle.
I've traveled central and South America and love it. I have not yet been to Nicaragua but I have heard from many people it is a wonderful place to settle. As of now I have my eye on San Juan Del Sur but open to suggestions.
I have 2 main concerns/questions I would love some feedback on.
1) Business. I've got money saved up that will allow for me to start up some sort of business once I get settled. I'll definitely need something profitable though as I am still many years away from retirement like a lot of expats who relocate. Can you all share some typical or no so typical expats make a living in Nicaragua. I'd imagine tourism and food services are two of the big ones. Any ideas to help get my wheels spinning would be very helpful.
2) Social life. Are there a lot of young expats in San Juan Del Sur ? Is it easy to make friends, meet women, hang out with locals ect... I've been to smaller beach towns with a cliquey non-inclusive vibe. I'm hoping it's not like that there.
