| Anonymous Coward User ID: 4331494 02/10/2013 09:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My multi-generational household is thinking of making a HUGE change. We are seriously making a big plan to move to Nicaragua in the next few months. Has anyone here ever done this? As far as things go, my biggest concern is that I have three children. Ages 11, 6, and almost 5. One is fully vaccinated, and the other two have only gotten two(hep B and tetanus). They are all healthy, and have never had any major issues. I'll of course do a lot more research on diseases and potential vaccines to get before going, but we've been mulling this idea over for the last few years. My husband lived in Costa Rica as a child, and he has very fond memories of living abroad. I'm nervous about it, because I've never even been out of the country, but my in-laws do frequent missions over there, and they are the reason we are thinking of making this a permanent thing for our whole family. Quoting: Holldoll So has anyone ever done this with their whole families. It will be 12 of us moving to a large house with land, and we'll grow a lot of our own food, and start a business down there. My children already picked up a lot of German very easily this year(we home school), and my Mother in-law, father in-law, and husband all speak fluent spanish, so I don't doubt that my children and I could learn the language easily. Any tips, ideas, or anything else that could be helpful before making such a huge change? Its just not safe plain and simple Nicaragua is extremely dangerous the negatives far out weigh the positives in my mind. In fact I would stay away from Nicaragua, Costa rica, Honduras etc etc. |

Techtonically speaking and who cares what causes things the point is that they know how things will look after the fact. There are about 6 maps in print and they are all very similiar. You must do some reasearch first. Just becauese one knows an area from " Before does not make it safe. " |

You may also want to invest in a vehicle with solid rubber tires, bomb sunder plating and bullet proof glass and panel inserts. Other then that it is a wonderful place. Oh and the police have a tendency to solve problems on the side of the road much like here in the US but the difference is in most of those countries nobody gives a shit at all. |

There are lots of things you can do to prevent, and places to avoid. Where we will be going is where my inlaws visit frequently and the crime rate is not as bad. Not saying nothing can happen, but it can happen anywhere. Nicaragua has a very bad reputation, and I'm aware of that too, but recently it's gotten better. It's in the top places to retire abroad according to some places. As for the zeta talk, I'm already in the south and it would be a toss up between falling into the ocean and getting trampled by troves of people fleeing Texas. :) I'm not one to live life in worry.

Anyway, if you look gringo and don't speak the lingo you'd be better off here Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13158115 My husband and his mom and dad all speak spanish, I'm a beginner but I can pick it up easily. He was raised in Costa Rica for a while, so it's not new to all of them. I would be the odd one out, as I've been raised here in the states. I'm not sure If I look American or not, but I'm not worried..except my girls have blonde hair and blue eyes.

Just stay away from bodies of water and the Northern parts which will flood eventually. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8796451 No need for armored vehicles and bodyguards. I keep telling my husband this but he has fantasies of escaping to somewhere tropical. I told him I refuse to live somewhere the goddamn mosquitoes are as big as my head.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 34100289 02/10/2013 10:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I knew a guy 6 or 8 years ago from Honduras. he was telling me one night about how he had just got a call from his sister, his father had died and left him the family farm. he refused to go back and claim it. He gave it to his sister. He was telling me how unsafe Central America is. at night in Honduras when the sun goes down you don't dare go outside. the night is ruled by the criminals who will kill you for 10 pesos. The cops are just as bad. They'll kill you for 10 pesos. Both his brothers were murdered and there was no way he was ever going back. I'd say at least go and vacation there first and check it out. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1361887 02/10/2013 10:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hmm. Look, I lived in Costa Rica during the 90's, and I personally watched the inflation go from 165 colones to 215 colones per US dollar in the space of a couple years. They thankfully have pegged their currency to the US dollar, so some more stability has been introduced. Now, I really enjoyed CR, but bear in mind that I was robbed a few times and lost some personal items (class ring, knife, etc.). Also, there are 19 very poisonous snakes ranging from bushmaster to green mamba to fer-de-lance. Cockroaches are seriously 3 inches long and will crawl up your leg while you're going piss. Makes a huge mess. Walking stick bugs are 12 inches long and very poisonous if they bite you, but not fatal. Oranges grow on the side of the road, along with avocados, papaya, limes... Lots of tremors and always threatening volcanoes. People are really nice and it is offensive to not say something like "upe" while walking past someone. So world class beaches are along the Pacific side along with surfing as well in playa Uvita and Dominical. I really had a great time there - don't get me wrong - and I'd like to be there again, and if there were no GLP doom every day, I could certainly live there. But one day, the GLP effect will fail us - shocking as it will be - I have a hard time believing CR will be the best place. In fact, the US has had to threaten Nicaragua from invading CR before (but there is a lot of Nicos in CR). Pray about it. Can't go wrong there... |

I'm well aware of what we will be living in and around. The location we are going to has been visited by my mom and father in law several times now. They also have several locals as friends there. We actually will be selling our cars too, and will get vehicles there. We all have jobs lined up for us, and while the income is not very good , with what we make here from selling our house and items. We'll also have a revenue back home. I don't expect to rough it in the wild, as it might sound, or even live in a mansion. We will be buying a house and adding on to it for the other members of our family. It's still just an idea. I have started researching the diseases and as far as I have read a lot of it seems to be due to eating local fruit without washing, and mosquitoes, nothing a lot of netting and deet can't solve.

I will most certainly pray about this one big time. It's not something to do on a whim, but we have traveled all over the US, and this is one place we feel that we (as a family) can make a big impact. We don't want to go, just to get away from it all, we want to put ourselves in a situation to help people. We have a very strong household built on a lot of love. I admire my mom and pop in law, they are very brave and have fed the hungry children down there several times. We already have some people working with us on giving them shoes. I don't want to waste my life doing nothing, and living in fear..but my children deserve better, but sometimes..it's possible to be too spoiled. Not that I want them living in tatters, but I want them to grow up with substance. I don't know if that makes any sense. Thank you for your response !
