Nicaragua
What is life like as an expat in your area?
When we asked people living abroad what life is like in their areas and how people spend their time, they said...
"Life for expats and digital nomads in Nicaragua is generally very pleasant and enjoyable. The country is known for its beautiful scenery, low cost of living, friendly people and relaxed lifestyle. Nicaragua offers many opportunities for outdoor activities, from sun-kissed beaches to tropical rainforests and stunning volcanoes. Gringos (expats) and digital nomads flock to Nicaragua to take advantage of excellent food, breathtaking nature, and relaxed working environment. Additionally, the vibrant culture, world-class healthcare and modern infrastructure make it a great place to live and work. Life in Nicaragua can also be quitechallenging due to the lack of stable internet, limited banking options and erratic electricity. However, it’s still a great place to live, work or explore," explained one expat living in Nicaragua.

"The expat community is largely made up of retirees. There are some who are in small businesses but for the most part everyone enjoys the sea, fishing, boating, walking, jogging, biking and trips to nearby cities to explore the volcanoes, lakes and great food," said another expat in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua.
