Take every opportunity to explore the country and get out of Managua. Do your best to befriend Nicaraguans as they are a very kind and generous people.

This can be a tough post for stay-at-home moms or spouses without full-time employment. Managua has little to offer and it can be difficult to fill your days. However, there is a lot of opportunity for volunteer work and potential for adventure. Attitude is everything. - Mar 2012


The country is beautiful but expensive given the economic situation of most Nicaraguans. Like one poster here said, it's an easy hard post.

First time posters would probably disagree but having experienced other places, we don't mind moving on. - Mar 2008
