Hello everyone
Happy to be here. A bit about myself. 36 years old, business owner looking for an easier life. I own a very busy hectic 5 month multi-province catering operation that goes nuts, this allows me not to have to work in fall/winter if I choose so.
Being that I have this option, we are looking at not purchasing a home in INFLATED VANCOUVER, but looking at corn island to setup shop for our home.
I have done a lot of research, but most of the blogs /info focus on little corn. We are planning on visiting next Nov for at least 1 month to get a feel for the place.
My questions :
1. Big Corn basic utilities cost? Electricity/water/internet??? - we plan on building using solar if we proceed. Also using a roof catch system for majority of water needs into cisterns. I understand internet could be a wild card.
2. Wages??? I absolutely cannot find accurate wages for trades in corn/Nica. I understand the island could be different in relation to the Mainland but trying to gather an somewhat realistic cost of a build. We plan on an acre of land and doing a lot of food on the property....possibly building several housing structures if possible. I understand logistic issues on corn and delivery of cargo.
3. What is the garbage deal on the island? Is it burned?
4. Insurance for my scooters? How does that system run?
We are planning on immersing ourselves in the culture and being a part of it. I know little corn is tourist expat heavy but big corn is cheaper it seems? We are interested in big corn. But time will tell when we actually stay While. But I am def doing an immense amount of cultural understanding before visiting and trying to figure out how they operate etc.
I thank you in advance for your time and any info!!
