The Best Least-Obvious Places To Live In Latin America
Gentlemen!
These days, the majority of the emails I receive (aside from hate mail, of course) have something to do with relocating to Latin America. Students that are wondering where to do a year abroad, retired men who are looking to say adios to the United States, digital nomads who are looking for a good base to settle down for a few months…folks from all kinds of backgrounds who are looking to live south of the border for various reasons.
Usually, they’re trying to sort out which city in Latin America would be best for them to live in. Here are some less-obvious answers to that question.
50 Good Books About Mexico, Central and South America
What originally drove me to live in Latin America wasn’t the sex, sun and salsa. Rather, it was a fascination with the politics, culture and society in this part of the world.
My interest started in university with a socioeconomics course. Insufferable Marxist indoctrination aside, it was an engaging class and responsible for igniting my enthusiasm for Latin America. I probably never would have bothered to take the jump to live in LATAM if I hadn’t taken the class.
Credit where credit’s due.
The Best Cigars From Latin America
Now for something a bit different.
Not many people know this about me, but I used to work as a cigar salesman.
Well, I was actually more of an ‘exporter.’ It was my job to find a way to ship Cuban cigars to the United States from Canada without them getting seized by customs.
I must say, I was very good at it. One year and thousands of shipments. Nothing ever got caught.
More on that later.
Through my experience, I was able to learn a thing or two about cigars and lucky enough to try a multitude of varieties from different countries.
Here are some of my favourites.
Leon, Nicaragua – City Guide for Nomads and Expats
The second-most famous colonial city in Nicaragua after Granada. The colonial buildings are slightly less preserved than the aforementioned city, but impressive nonetheless. It is the second-largest city in the country, and many students come to Leon from nearby cities to study.
San Juan del Sur – City Guide for Nomads and Expats
A small coastal town in southwest Nicaragua, 140 km south of Managua. A popular vacation and surfing spot that is a favourite amongst Canadian, European and American expats.
Managua, Nicaragua – City Guide for Nomads and Expats
The capital and largest city in Nicaragua. Not a particularly attractive or appealing city in the traditional sense, but still worth a couple days…actually, that’s not entirely fair. Geographically, the city is actually rather nice.
Granada, Nicaragua – City Guide for Nomads and Expats
Granada is the oldest colonial city in Nicaragua, and the largest tourist destination in the country. Many colourful buildings and a rich history of conflict and conquest.
