- What is Nicaragua actually like as a country?
- Patrick talks about the community they are building in Nicaragua called Playa Pacifica and how they are building homes using solar power and wind power.
- Is a Nicaraguan Passport a good one to have?
- We talk about how to get residency in Nicaragua and what will work and what will not work.

- Great questions were asked, What about transportation? a car? Can you bring down your own jeep or an SUV to Nicaragua? What are the import taxes like?
- One of the most frequently asked questions when moving to another country is, ‘should I bring my own household goods? Or purchase in my new country?’ Patrick talked about what he has done in the past and what he recommends.
- Healthcare is another concern for expats. We talk about the costs, what you can expect when using a hospital and what kind of service you will enjoy.

I love Nicaragua. It’s a beautiful country, with lots to see and do. I first went some 20 years ago and enjoyed it so much that I purchased the teak & avocado parcel with Patrick and Vida Verde Agroforestry to gain my residency there. Patrick and I cover a lot of great information in this episode. Don’t miss it!Mentioned in this episode:
