Do you see the quality of your life deteriorating in the Western World? You are not imagining it; the struggle is real. The question is, what are you going to do about it? Are you going to sit around and say, “Woe is me. I guess that’s the way it is.” Or will you look for an alternative country offering a freedom lifestyle with a quality of life you only dream about now?

Often overlooked and misunderstood is a country in Central America with colourful colonial architecture, photogenic volcanic landscapes, cities with well-groomed plazas, and perfectly maintained mansions sheltering lush internal courtyards.

Imagine hopping along cobblestone streets from church to church in cities, then venturing onto the waters of Lago de Nicaragua for an adventure to Isla de Ometepe, twin volcanic peaks capturing the imagination of Aztecs to Mark Twain. Hiking trails lead to wilderness wildlife and hot springs beckon your weary feet. Enter, Nicaragua.

Before getting into the FAQ, let’s see what an expat has to say about how relocating to Nicaragua has affected his quality of life:

Charlotte: How has living in Nicaragua affected your quality of life?

Doug: Overall, it’s improved it. I was a truck driver; I’m not professional or highly educated. I was living in a truck most days. For the year and a half from the initial news items about the outbreak of COVID-19 in China to where we were, it became increasingly ridiculous, the news stories and the unfortunately disappointingly, surprisingly public reaction to the government’s reaction to it, which made me start looking for other places to get to. I don’t have responsibilities, I’ve never been married. I don’t have any children. My dog had died the previous year after 18 years.

Although I was happy in my house, I moved from England to Wales before coming to Nicaragua. I spent five years in Wales and was relatively happy there in my home life, but the COVID-19 situation and the government’s reaction were a catalyst. Everybody I knew reacted to what to me were obvious lies made me want to leave.

And now I live in a tropical climate, once you get used to it is very good for you physically. There’s fresh food here, which is grown locally. I don’t think they use many chemicals. They can’t afford fertilizers. You get organic fruit and vegetables. There’s fresh fish available, which is caught locally.

I swim in the ocean every day. I’m walking around quite a lot. I’m in a better place physically and psychologically than before I left. Yes, my quality of life has improved.

What was frightening to me before I left was imagining the future in Britain. I was in a place where there were over 70 million people of all different origins, ethnic, political, and religious backgrounds. I was imagining a situation in the future living on a small island where we cannot support ourselves. We cannot feed ourselves by what we grow. If the supply chains broke down in the UK, it would quickly turn into a horrific… I couldn’t imagine. That’s another part of the reason why I’m in Nicaragua. There are only 7 million people in the whole of Nicaragua. It’s tropical; things grow all year round. There is poverty, but nobody’s starving. Survival is one of the reasons for being here.
