Visiting Nica in Feb.

7 years ago

Hi All! We are considering moving to Nicaragua and are visiting in February to see if it's a good fit for us. We have done a lot of research and were drawn to Granada but feel it might be a bit big and touristy for us and hoping to get some suggestions of cities to check out.

We don't have children so no needs or concerns regarding children. Our biggest concern anywhere we live is safety which probably translates to a small to medium city or suburban area with little tourist traffic and hopefully some expats as well. If we make the move we are hoping to keep costs low (rent for a 2 or 3 bedroom house or apartment around $800/month - less would be great).

We would also be working remotely so we would need stable internet connection. Long term we are planning on possibly purchasing property as an investment. Another goal we hope to achieve is to contribute to the community in some way through charity work, whether that means working directly or indirectly with low income Nicaragua native folks.

One last thing, we currently live in Colorado and love the mountain terrain but would also love living near the beach, we're open to anything. The only preference we have regarding climate is maybe an area that doesn't have the most critters and bugs in the country and highest humidity. We know we can't avoid all together though.

Any suggestions?
