What a $3000 car looks like in Nicaragua (and a trip to the beach)

Hi guys! In this video we travelled up to Managua, Nicaragua from our home in Rivas to buy a car. We also visit a nearby beach which is our favourite beach that we've been to so far.

It is very interesting to me as a central american that a foreign couple from a developed country choose to live in a third world country! I guess you guys love the tropical weather and the natural beauty of the country itself and its people... Which is totally fascinating fascinating and clear example of PERSPECTIVE. Keep it up guys! I love how humble and friendly you seem to be. 🎉

[@travellingroots]

It is a beautiful part of the world with nice, authentic people. And in many ways much more free than the west.

[@Thenewgards]

Your son will have the experience of a lifetime!! I enjoyed watching you guys.

[@travellingroots]

Thank you! He really enjoys being here!

[@ArchieAndBenny]

I was born in Nicaragua and moved to Florida at the age of 4. I havent been back in 40 years and I have a huge desire to go back as I get older. I'm truly enjoying your videos especially when we get to see ur little guy! He's adorable!

[@travellingroots]

Thank you so much! I hope you manage to make it back here some time in the future. The little guy loves the camera!

[@exodia9645]

I hope you can return and enjoy the landscape friendship and all the things that Nicaragua offer to you. Come back soon ❤

Hi guys ✌🏻 Found your channel about a week ago and enjoyed your first 2 vids. Congrats on your new car 👍🏻 love it, great choice, it's small enough without being a sedan... it'll definitely take you to your adventure destinations... With just a little TLC, it'll look like a whole new SUV. It's great to see you're exploring less touristy and more local, off tge beaten path type of places... Can't wait to see where you'll go next! Cheers ✌🏻😎

[@travellingroots]

Hey, Thanks for the comment. Really glad you like our channel. You are so right, with some TLC the car will look even better. Glad you are enjoying watching us along the journey 😊

[@user-nq5wk6et8g]

[@ernestinechersak4615]

Muchas bendiciones a su familia

[@sergegagnon2757]

Merci à vous trois ;) Excellentes vidéos qui nous donne l'impression d'y être. Nous envisageons de venir nous installer au Nicaragua et en vous visionnant, ça ne fait qu'augmenter notre rêve. Merci!

[@travellingroots]

Merci :)

[@exodia9645]

I hope you can make more videos in the future, greetings from Diriamba.

[@Francisrocayabeta66]

Hermoso pais quisiera algundia ir a vivir a ya me encanta ❤❤❤

[@juliaventham3053]

Another great video @travellingroots, car looks perfect for the terrain, driving looks hazardous 😱

[@travellingroots]

Thank you!! Yes a little hazardous haha

[@enchantedrockview]

Congratulations on your new jeep! (I know it’s not that brand but that’s the way we call that vehicle type lol) Where did you look for the vehicle? Facebook marketplace? The bane of your diving experience will be those moto taxis (1:50), they slow everything down 😒 Once you learn other drivers behaviors it’ll be smooth sailing (for example, some people don’t use their turn signals but you learn to identify when they’ll turn).

[@travellingroots]

Thank you so much! We also call it a jeep in England too haha. It's a Dodge Raider but really it's a Mitsubishi just branded as Dodge. We found all three cars on Marketplace, that's right. The driving is a little unpredictable! As you said, no indicators are used so you really have to pay attention.

[@ricardofonseca4299]

Hola I love you videos wish the best in nicaragua, you will need a good tires later

[@travellingroots]

We're so pleased!

[@gmarod6099]

Nice!! First full tank is on me!

[@travellingroots]

Haha, well that would be too kind!

[@jaydunn1256]

Congrats. American who just arrived in Managua two weeks ago. Kind of inspired now.

[@travellingroots]

Thank you! Hopefully you've managed to move on from Managua?

[@jaydunn1256]

It’s the only city I know right now. Where would you recommend I explore? Granada? The southern side of the country?

[@travellingroots]

@@jaydunn1256 cool! Have you moved here or just visiting? Leon, Granada, Ometepe Island, and Southern Beaches are all a good starting place :)

[@anagonzalez8300]

Go to explore Matagalpa beautiful weather and prosperous city.

[@Rickky007]

My dad retired early, moved to Nicaragua in 2004 from the us .

[@davidtorrente3388]

I would like to go and enjoy it

[@travellingroots]

It is nice :)

[@jay23cr]

Hey that’s a nice beach life! And nice house! How much is rent? What part of the country is that again?

[@travellingroots]

Thanks. In our last video we go into more about the prices of our house but it’s $300 a month including bills! It’s in the south near San Juan del sur 😊

[@mja3127]

Will be 2024

[@markhunter1]

3000.00 for that not bad at all u know !

[@NelsonRaudez]

Que les llevo ha Nicaragua 😅

[@noeliaargenal5274]

Hello, Thank you so much 🙏for sharing your experience ❤with us, my husband and I we are planning on relocating to Nicaragua is possible to make one requirement on driving to Nicaragua 🇳🇮 Please 🙏? We bring our 5th wheeler 😅

[@travellingroots]

Hi there, good luck on the move it will be worth it. Could you explain your question? I don't quite understand

[@markhunter1]

the inspection cost about 150 u said right ?

[@travellingroots]

$50

[@skipstreet]

Is that a Mitsubishi?

[@travellingroots]

Yes it is but this model was sold under the Ford name for the US market

[@ericdiekmann2308]

Are you teleworking for money or just have enough? What town did you move to? Where from europe too?

[@travellingroots]

We're from England. We live in the south, near San Juan Del Sur and Rivas. We're not currently working but a lot of people choose to do remote work.

[@ericdiekmann2308]

@@travellingroots we spent a week over Christmas last year in SJDS, visited Managua and Granada and a few other towns. Talked about moving there fir years we had to of course check it out. Hope to get back this summer to see what it's like then. 5 years fingers crossed retired and living in San Juan and still pretty youngish at 55 lol

[@travellingroots]

@@ericdiekmann2308 I think it's doable! Best of luck :)

[@newworldmoney8926]

How do you own and license a vehicle in Nicaragua as a visitor?

[@IntifadaWW]

what a beautifull baby

[@transportessoza69]

Good morning you guys ! I admirers that you people come from an organized society to experience something so different is beyond my mind., I left Nicaragua back in 1984 I was 15 years old and i live in Canada ever since., I’m surprised to see in your videos that the local people won’t change their way ., being poor doesn’t have to be dirty I see a lot of trash on the roads ,and playa gigante a beach town should be made more attractive specially where tourists go to visit., ouch I don’t know how you do it., the government should invest in beach towns just like they are investing in hi ways and hospitals., Any ways , may god bless you in your journey, please help make Nicaragua great again , like back before the revolution in 1979.

[@travellingroots]

Thank you for your comments :) have a lovely weekend

[@josebaez6602]
