Nicaragua...of course!❤

[@NickAllison-b2t]

Thank you so much for a detailed presentation. Really appreciate it.

[@carolinacastro5660]

You should go to Nicaragua ❤

[@powertronpop1580]

It is a nice place, isn't it? Life is slow and very relaxing.

[@Guillermo-ym5yn]

Scott... I lived in Guatemala for close to 10 years. As soon as you start going down the plateau of Barberena- Cuilapa you feel the heat rushing at you... Everytime i slept on a bus it woke me up. When it's 86 degrees (normal) in Jutiapa it's usually 5-10 degrees colder in the capital! In Petén, that used to be a lung of the planet, they (me too) often experience over 93 degrees. In Suchitepequez, it also hovers around 90 degrees... Many cities in Retalhuleu hit over 90 degrees. I love that department with all it's palm trees. Zacapa, Jerez, Asunción Mita remind me of burning Chinandega. You might prefer Zacapa though...Some 110 kms on the East of Guatemala city. And not just for it's rhum... Temperatures hover around 86-90 degrees all year. Some precipitations. Nothing to do with Guatemala city where you better bring an umbrella plus a warmer coat during their long rainy season... Returning to Zacapa... Usually, during the 'Semana Santa (Holy Week) ' brace yourself for 110-113 degrees temperature (nice)... Guess where i'm going back to in four months... 😊😊😊😊

[@ScottAlanMillerVlog]

Guatemala is my goal for a second house and if I'm ever baller enough, a third in Italy. But Guate is where I want to be. Nicaragua lacks the big city. So a chance to hang in a major metro as a "vacation home" sounds perfect.

@@ScottAlanMillerVlog Soy de Nicaragua, pero sería genial vivir en Guatemala, según entendí en el vídeo el clima de allá es agradable, en cambio aquí hace demasiado calor.

[@Guillermo-ym5yn]

@@ScottAlanMillerVlog Hi. lots of restaurants in Zone 10... But I feel 100 safer in Nica... Different kind of people...

[@presovenganzadanoargueta3727]

Guatemala best weather many places to visit. Shamuc champey, tikal, monte rico best beaches. Antigua Guatemala, atitlan the most beautiful lake . And more more chichi astenando . And the senotes of huehuetenango.

[@Guillermo-ym5yn]

@@presovenganzadanoargueta3727 Can we agree to disagree. A lake full of human feces ... Go swim in it???

[@yamilflores2381]

What about safety? It's not for visiting but for living Nicaragua is safer cheaper and much better for business for the oportunities

[@bondedteam626]

Guatemala has several airports. 2 international, La aurora and the one in peten, they got flight from Mexico, Honduras, and some other countries. But we have domestic flights to Huehue, Izabal, Xela, Reu is international also, peten guate city.

[@ScottAlanMillerVlog]

I always forget about the international airport at Peten.

[@Xrusader]

My coworkers thought I was crazy for going to Guatemala last year. That vacation was tied with Greece as my favorite vacation spot. Beautiful country and friendly people. I'd love to get to Nicaragua at some point.

[@ScottAlanMillerVlog]

Guatemala is so nice. And I used to live on Crete!!!! One of my favourite places ever. I have a video series on some vacation time in Greece... kzbin.info/aero/PLHXRWsc3qsxzzMuv4bftcDNhU20qcrTQy

[@donsebera]

Scott, You now have me wanting to fly into Guatemala City just to take the Bus trip to Nicaragua

[@ScottAlanMillerVlog]

LOL, I was just drinking with someone who did the bus. Honestly, it's a fun (but LONG) trip!

[@MatiasDC361]

A rail system connecting all countries of the region would be nice but even the less complicated ferry between Costa Rica and El Salvador failed miserably

[@ScottAlanMillerVlog]

That might be "less complicated", but it's also "a bad idea." LOL. If you look at the geography, it's not a great place for a ferry, and bypassing Nicaragua makes little sense. Ferries are expensive to operate, dangerous, scary, make lots of people sick, slow, etc. I love them personally compared to many things (but less than trains), but my wife can't take them. That knocks this family of four travels out as potential passengers, plus we live in Nicaragua. Costa Ricans don't tend to be travelers (expats that go there aren't likely to travel more) and not nearly as likely to want to go to El Savaldor. The Nicaragua / El Salvador ferry is up and running. THe problem is that the ferry solved no real issues. A train, in theory, would solve many.

[@MatiasDC361]

@@ScottAlanMillerVlog ..Whats even worse the ferry was meant for truck drivers to avoid the nicaragua and honduras border lol trucking companies said no way jose the ferry charges to much money for each truck

[@StartingFromFlorida]

Do you have a Nicaragua vs El Salvador video?? Im most interested in these two and curious how they compare.

[@ScottAlanMillerVlog]

I'm super interested to do that too. But I don't have one yet and I need to spend more time up there to make some content first. Which I plan to do relatively soon. It really is one of the best comparisons to make these days.

[@StartingFromFlorida]

​@@ScottAlanMillerVlog I look forward to it!!!

[@ScottAlanMillerVlog]

me too! jaja

[@patriciaflaherty]

I want a beach on a mountain where it's 70 degrees during the day and 60 degrees at night.

[@ScottAlanMillerVlog]

Cañar, España. I had views of the ocean, from a mountain.

[@patriciaflaherty]

@@ScottAlanMillerVlog too hot, though.

Id say north korea

[@NickAllison-b2t]

How about safety? Can I walk in Guatemala City or Managua after 8 or 9 pm?

[@ScottAlanMillerVlog]

Definitely. I walk them much later!

[@dovygoodguy1296]

When it comes to relocating to Guatemala isn't it the case that Guatemala is politically very unstable, which would be a big Con for relocating or retiring there in comparison with Nicaragua???

[@ScottAlanMillerVlog]

I made a video response to this! Should be up any day.

[@JustDaveIsGood]

I’m in Nicaragua now on vacation. How do you survive this heat with that beard?

[@ScottAlanMillerVlog]

jaja. you adjust. i just woke and thought to myself how far i've come that i slept last night in a pile of dogs, no AC, no fans, and the windows closed.

[@ScottAlanMillerVlog]

It's not as hot as the majority of the US this time of year. It's just in the 80s. :)

[@1stLukecifer]

@@ScottAlanMillerVlog, 86 F (96 w/ humidity) and rising here in SWFL at 10:30am EST. I watch the 6 cities/regions of Nicaragua on weather channel & all of Nicaragua is more moderate than what we have here.

[@JustDaveIsGood]

That’s cool. Thanks for your content. I watched a bunch of your videos in preparation for my trip Nicaragua 🇳🇮

[@Guillermo-ym5yn]

I might be wrong but I thought the Mayan land was made up Southeastern Mexico, all of Guatemala and Belice, western portions of Honduras and el Salvador??? Any geography buffs here?

[@ScottAlanMillerVlog]

That's correct. But Guatemala is the heartland. The Mayan culture started in Guatemala, the biggest settlement was always there, and Guate remains the symbolic "capital of the empire", which it even says when you enter the city.

[@ScottAlanMillerVlog]

Nicaragua has Toltec remnants.

[@luisaragon9926]

I adventure ride motorcycles. Guatemala is filthy ! Nicaragua much better 100%

@chrisdekeyser549 i find it generally cleaner but it has bigger cities. so hard to compare. but nicer?

[@Lesseodollboy]

If Guatemala Is so rich and cheap, then why it's poverty rate is twice's of Nicaragua

[@setzutokugawa2588]

Exacto 👍

[@Guillermo-ym5yn]

Where did you get that?

[@ScottAlanMillerVlog]

Well, "richer" countries often have higher poverty rates. THis might sound crazy, but if your goal is to be rich "as a country" then you generally go for high income disparity. If you want your people to live well, you go for low income disparity. So places like Panama and the UK are "rich" but have major poverty problems. Nicaragua is "poor" but has a lot fewer poverty problems.
