Hello Everyone!
I’ve just published my very first newsletter called Notes from Nicaragua 🇳🇮
It’s a monthly update on what’s really happening here in San Juan del Sur—this month I talk about the changing season, fewer tourists, and what’s coming next.

Costa Rica Vs Nicaragua - Which would you choose for retirement?
Just posted a new video comparing the two based on safety, healthcare, housing prices, cost of living, and expat lifestyle - especially Tamarindo vs San Juan del Sur.
If you ever traveled somewhere and thought "I wish I had bought here 30 years ago," this comparison might surprise you.

🍊☀️ On a blazing day in San Juan del Sur, there’s nothing more refreshing than Irving’s famous fresh-squeezed orange juice! For just 50 cordobas (about $1.36 USD), you get five juicy oranges, a little ice, and a lot of Nicaraguan charm. 🥤💛
You can sip it the traditional way—from a bag with a straw—or bring your own bottle to help cut down on plastic waste 🌎💧.
Next time you’re in town, don’t miss this simple but delicious treat—it’s the perfect way to “squeeze the day”! 😋🍊

In Part 4 of my trip to Ometepe I misspoke. I had said that the Qute car was from China but they are from India. Thank you Kelvin Marshall for the correction.
