    Getting to know about you and your videos just now and l can easily say that you seems to be a nice and intelligent man, liked the way you highlighted the importance of taking life more relaxed and not taking decicions while in a hurry or busy moment. I am brazilian and want to visit Paraguay so your video enhanced my will to know our neighboor country. Thanks

    That hotel looked great but $50 is out of my budget for term travel. Unfortunately like you said that price seems like the going rate for much of South America. I’ve heard good things about Paraguay. Great video 👍

    Paraguay is a country I want to checkout as a possible retirement destination? I hear a lot of great things about the country. Are you planning on going to Nicaragua? I would love to know your opinion on life in Paraguay and life in Nicaragua, which country do you prefer living in longterm? Anyone else thoughts or opinion!
