Travel Tips

I have never been, but had thought about going. My friend in Honduras told me it was not a good place to visit or live. I have also heard people from Costa Rica say the same thing. That the only crime in Costa Rica is when people from Nicaragua visit. I myself cannot judge without first hand seeing. I still would like to visit though. Maybe go on a mission awarenesss trip. I think then you see the real country and people. Vacation spots tend to over do the way things really are.

my family is from there. extremely nice.. you might want to stay in the main cities though... Managua, Leon or even San Rafael. those are really nice places... Beaches are amazing!!! but the roads suck. Job opportunities.. is usually in the little shops or taxis.. that's the best thing.. but in the big city... I dont know
My family is also from Nicaragua and I've been there many times. I hear Managua has some violence, pickpockets or worse. The nice places to live depend on how much money you have and your view on what is nice. My family is from Leon and it is a very calm city and the people are very friendly. Job opportunities are few but i don't know what type of job you are looking for and the wages won't be great. The health care I wouldn't really know much about.
I tried the same, to live there. I had to leave i didn't find a job it's hard to find jobs locals are a priority when it comes to hiring since it is a problem, most likely you wont get health benefits.
My husband's family is originally from Managua, Nicaragua. He is actually on the phone with a friend there right now. Jobs are scarce, but not impossible. You just have to be willing to accept certain opportunities even if it isn't what you want to do.

Health care is not bad at all. Their doctors usually study in the best programs - and many studied in foreign universities. Our friend is a dentist in Managua and compared to the U.S. his costs are very very cheap. He is doing orthodontic work on my husband's son.
i am from Nicaragua the best place to live is around the ocean i live their now and it is a beautiful view
