Really love how you organized/edited this video. It was very informative like your other videos and this one shared more of a personal experience between you both. Keep them coming,thank you!
The problem with Nicaragua is electricity is often more expensive than rent. A cooler mountain town might work. There's another small city, Jinotega, not far from Matagalpa, that's at about 4000'.
My understanding is very few people use air con in Matagalpa, which is the expensive part. We are looking at Matagalpa or Jinotega for retirement. We prefer cool weather and as you mentioned, no air con makes an already inexpensive city even more so . My wife is originally from Corinto, which is like sitting on the face of the sun. I lived in Florida most of my life and Corinto makes Florida look chilly. Matagalpa could very easily be our retirement home….or San Cristobal de las Casas, Mexico….we will be living in one of these by March 2023 !
Um, no, 1,000 meters in town. Some of the higher mountains nearby are higher. You don't have to air-condition but some nights in late January and early February are cold enough that if I had heating, I'd use it.
Dan/Qiang - thanks for this review - looks like a wonderful town, reminds me a bit of Tecate Mexico. It's surprising that more expats would have not discovered this gem - large enough (but not too big) population, plenty of resources and excellent temps/weather. Your next mission should be finding a way to replicate Qiang's metabolism and selling it in liquid form. Cracks me up how she can eat so much and stay so thin - good genetics, activity and mindset! Thank you again for sharing! EW :)
Dan you look amazing for your age brotha. I see your lifestyle makes you happy & your diet is on point. Also I can tell you've been working out. As I'm getting older my diet is much better & now I have to work out more & start traveling so I can be happy & free too. Thank you for being my inspiration! You are appreciated.
Amazing videos and good job. Very happy how you like it. Enjoy this beautiful country, full of good people and good things, nature is also a thing over there! Nice
I'm very nervous about Nicaragua and the "law" environment shakedowns and the general corruption for travelers... Especially when/if traveling with a woman and girls (yes, white American. Extortion, trafficking, etc.)
We didn't see anything fishy at all. Here are my thoughts on safety no matter where you are in the world even the USA and Europe. vagabondbuddha.com/how-to-travel-the-world-safely/
Um, nope. Nicaraguans can be gallant but lots of women are rather forward, too, so no biggie if you decline politely. I've been living here alone as a older woman and have never paid a bribe to anyone for anything after getting conned the first night I was here and got a ride to Jinotega with some problem people. Be careful with gringas with younger boyfriends. Getting hustled and pickpocketed happens, but violent crime is rare. White Americans are considered a bit problematic as some of us have killed some of them.
Thanks for visiting and showing Matagalpa, my home town to the world. It's very nice and pretty town with lots of places to visit in the mountains and rivers, surrounding the city, with a very pleasant weather.
@@VagabondAwake I had one bought for me as a little boy .I knocked it open and the damn thing was empty. My parents " Kool kats" haa ha ,forgot to fill it up.
Thank you kevin reist! Thanks for watching and commenting. :-) Dan Do you have my free eBook yet? That is here: vagabondbuddha.com/fire-your-boss-travel-world/
Mexico has gone crazy with their residency requirements of over $4,000 monthly income needed to qualify, which prices out most Americans/Canadians/Brits/Aussies, so Nicaragua is looking better and better as a super-affordable place to retire longterm at only $600 monthly needed to qualify for longterm residency. The infrastructure and quality of life is not as good as Mexico though. I stayed for 5 months in Leon and Granada with Granada being waaaaay nicer and more colorful than Leon.
Hey Dan, I really enjoy your videos regarding the cost to retire in the many countries that you travel to and research. Have you entertained the thought of providing the health care systems or costs of the countries traveled? When retiring in another country it would be good to know what a country provides in relationship to health care, quality and general cost. Thanks again for your channel!

Hello Fred Azbell, thank you for your personal note of encouragement. It really does make a difference for us when we know people appreciate what we are doing. Your comments also cause RUclips to show our video to more people so your note is like paying us a small tip $$ for our time. Thank you, Dan
You hit that poor unicorn so hard I was expecting the contents to be scattered all down to the valley below. Flying Unicorns of Nicaragua. Sounds like a movie title. :)
Moving there on the 25th !!! Sooooo excited! Our family in Nicaragua believe our total bills will run $1200-$1500, but wondering if they think their gringo relative will need to live upscale. 😃
For residency, you need $1K a month for the first person per month and $150 or $200 for additional people per month. I think having what your family is suggesting would make more travel in the region more possible, also would cover in home health care in oldest age.

My neighbors in Jinotega have invested in remodeling homes and businesses and finishing construction on new businesses. The mountain towns because of the weather seem to have more energy than the flat lands.
Hey Dan. Hope all is well. Where should I go before the Philippines? Guatamala or Nicaragua? Just till the Philippines $2,000 flights go down. Thanks you guys.
You may be able to get flights for under $1500 usd before the end of February, 2022. I would guess one ways will be around $1200 no later than Feb. 25th.
We are so happy you are there ! With Lidia being Nicaraguan we always toyed with retiring there but our disdain for hot weather, well it never made sense and we could never find good videos of that area. Costs seem low. Is there a decent hospital ? Feel safe ? Thx very much !
Hello Banana Patch, we loved the place. There are a few clinics in town but you will probably need to go to Managua for any complicated services. Yes, it felt safe to us. Make sure to read the full report in the notes below this video! Thanks, Dan
The food and the pastry looked so good and the price is less than here in Tecate, MX. The is a very high end bakery that people come for miles around to buy and I am going to see if they have the Lemon Morang.
@@VagabondAwake Hi Dan and Chung. Yes I am planning on returning to Malaysia but first my wife has MANY acting commitments and then when she is free come here to see some of the family that she has not seen in a long time. I believe I will be there in Aug as it all depends on the wife. We will keep in touch and looking forward to seeing you both there. I will return with the wife. I am looking forward to meeting you both and I have told my wife about you.
I read your notes about travelling lite. I also saw 2 PC monitors i your apartment. Do you bring them with you or do people rent them everywhere. I'm used to working with multiple monitors myself.
I travel with a laptop (15.5 inch) and a 22 inch monitor. I use a wood plywood to protect the screen of the monitor and I secure it with bungee cords. I tuff the monitor in my checked luggage.
Thank you Ted Watson! Thanks for watching and commenting. :-) Dan Do you have my free eBook yet? That is here: vagabondbuddha.com/fire-your-boss-travel-world/
Totally. Latin America is very polite. People greet you when you walk down the street. It reminds me of Texas in that way. Of course, Texas used to be part of Latin America so it all makes sense when you think about it.
Hi Dan. You forgot to quote on the health care cost and quality. What is your take is it better to pay an international insurance valid any where in the world or to purchase one locally?
Great question Tony Hernandez, I have one report where I explain what I do about health care and another where I show you how I search for health insurance. What I do about health care: vagabondbuddha.com/two-biggest-risks-of-retiring-early-overseas/ Report where I search for health insurance: vagabondbuddha.com/best-health-insurance-for-ex-pats-in-philippines/ By the way, once you search for health care you will start seeing more offers for health insurance and travelers insurance when you are online. Health insurance is one of the most dynamic or changing industries in the travel world because so many people around the world are deciding to live or retire outside their home country. So do a search every year before you renew to make sure you have the best available for your personal circumstances because new ones come out every few months. Thanks for asking so I could answer this for many people! Dan

I like this place with the nice mountain views and cooler temperatures but how does one get there? I assume you fly into the capitol city but then what?...take a small airplane to your destination city? or a bus or taxi? It looks like the Matagalpa destination is about 80-100 miles away from the capitol city.

Just wondering... Are you guys able to "show" someone, kinda , one on one ? I am recently retired, and I am wanting to make my life plan, but I am so scared.
We just follow the local rules when we enter a new country. They change all the time so you would need to check now if you are thinking of going. We entered over 2 montsh ago now so what we were required to do would not help you. So sorry.
Back packing -- not common. Most people go hiking and return -- Matagalpa is good for that. Selva Negra, several miles out of town has restaurant, coffee farm, and overnight accomodations and hiking trails. Jinotega has some hiking trails, but it's advised to go with someone who knows the area.

No longer true -- $1,000 per single person per month, $1200 per a couple per month required for residency.
