Great job man. I just want to mention the hospitality and warmth that people have. Respect for each other is a great value that Nicas share.
So true! Thank you. Where are u watching from?!
Congratulations and good luck with your movement. I grew up in Memphis, Tennessee and moved to Mexico ten years ago. The best decision I ever made.
Thank you so much! I love Mexico it’s a beautiful country and super massive so much to do.
Would love to hear about your transition! I grew up with a dad in Houston and mom in Frederick Maryland and have always wanted to move to Mexico or Nicaragua.
what about the fact that your government is run by cartels? Is that a concern for you?
I lived in Guadalajara. It was great. I’m in Memphis now. What a shithole.
I want to move to Mexico! I have lived in Michigan my whole life. Mexico is one of my favorite places to visit. I think I need to move there too.
I just spent 4 months in Nicaragua from Dec-April. I was in Granada.. sooooo affordable. I had so much fun. I’m def going back.
Im glad you liked it!
Granada is where i want to go to teach.
I don’t miss the US. Been in Nicaragua for 5 years now. I love it. Have a coffee farm too. Great coffee here.
Amazing!
I get asked if I miss living in the USA as well. (I have been living here for 2 years now). My answer is... YES!. I miss it (the USA), until I go back and I realize I miss the USA of the 80's. When I pay $20 for a burger, fries, and coke and I see what a violent, rude society the USA has become, I want to get back to Nicaragua ASAP.
#Nicatime is a real thing. It's really tough to get used to.
And politics, I know very little of politics here, I have no opinion, and don't care. I am glad not to be in the USA now as politics there is just crazy. I just love living here in Nicaragua, it's a beautiful country and very peaceful. You are right, the propaganda online in the USA is crazy crazy wrong. Great video!
Thank you for watching!
I hate seeing foreigners like you here. Things aren’t affordable for Nicaraguans. They might not cost as much as Americans. However, for our salaries, things are expensive for Nicaraguans. For an American, they’re obviously cheaper. You say you’re happy not to be living in American politics because they’re crazy. Then having a dictator isn’t crazy for you? You just have no opinion because you aren’t a citizen and you just see Nicaragua as a cheap playground. But just like how you wouldn’t like to have human rights violations in the USA, and just how you’d like to have an opinion on American politics, Nicaraguans would also like to have opinions about our politics. You’re just cynical!
My parents are retiring in Nicaragua in about a month. Leon Nicaragua. They bought a farm just outside of Leon. They are tired of the Chicago like living.
Awesome!
My late hubby was born and raised in Nicaragua 💕
Awesome!
I spent 3 days at Selva Beautiful place to visit in NICARAGUA
Awesome! I am happy you liked it!

Hi! Thank you for watching! We are close by I am in Hayward. Blessings! Maybe we can grab a beer one day in Nica.
@EmenseCoffee MY son lives in hayward. I live in silicon valley by Levi's stadium. Am a Nicaragua native immigrated 1990 to the U.S. I wish I could go back to live but unfortunately I have no family there anymore and my husband is from Perú so it is difficult to decide a huge life changing move being from two different countries.
I live in El Sereno southern California, and i am planning to go and live in Nicaragua soon 🔜 my mother used to from Nicaragua n i love coffee
Nice enjoy your trip!
Hello my friend, i recently started following you. I like your content and I'm learning a lot about coffee my wife loves her cup of coffee every morning. It makes me feel good and proud that someone is showcasing Somoto and its surrounding. Due to your videos we are planning on visiting Nicaragua and the places you' ve been, for example downtown Somoto, the alter where the virgin Maria and drink the holy water right off of the creek. I was born in Nicaragua and never been in that part of the country. it looks epic. I think i will be there very soon to visit and enjoy. thanks and keep up with your dreams.
Thank you so much, I am gla you like the video. Enjoy your time in Nicaragua. Cheers and blessings!
Sounds amazing! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks brotha!

Las penitas?

Thanks for this video, i've been thinking hard, talking to friends about how all is back home and as it was 20 years ago still is,the good paying jobs still dont exist wich means if i go back ..i would have to set myself up on my own thing..really cant think of what BUT returning home n stay has been a dream for quiet some time now, i love Nicaragua and everything about it ( but politics) this video is helping me to make up my mind and finally take that step to a better life..familia amigos y cultura. Gracias✌🏼
Cheers my friend! I think you will come up with something good to be able to come back!
Great video. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you 🙏
Retired expat. I got it made in San juan del sur. 6 km north of town . Playa Marsella.
You mean immigrant? Just say how it is. Me and my family were called immigrants by your people when I first moved to Canada, it ain't no different for you guys now.
Your Happy And Healthy! I would love to Visit Nicaragua 😎

Good idea! Maybe in the future
You are living my dream!!
Thank you friend!
Helpful, thanks!
Thank you for watching
Welll amigo your chat is encouraging me as I used to live in Guatemala and loved it. Today I'm seemingly Stuck here in Conn. paying $1300 mo. renta & the Gringo's around here are really boring and todo is expensive- the weather Sucks soooo vamos a ver?
Sounds amazing. I have so many questions.
My instagram is @emenselogic. you can message me any questions my friend! thanks for watching.
I ❤ your video: Thank you!
● Suggestion ● Become a role model. Styro foam cups are not cool as you are. Plastic pollution is choking fish and polluting the environment.

Don't import your world view here. Things are just fine.
Beautiful video !
Thank you my brotha!
I want to come visit the farm!
Hi Candice! You are more than welcome! Come on by! Have you been to Nicaragua before?!
Cool concept, we do something quite similar but applied to Italian wine!
I love your guys page!
@@EmenseCoffee we should come see you! I hear there’s good surf out there!
@@Oneonthehill yes! you guys would love it. Maybe we can come visit you guys after!
We moved to Matagalpa a few weeks ago and we are really enjoying it.
Our pros- cost of living and the people have been very friendly. As a couple with 3 dogs it looks like we will have total bills of about $1100-$1200/month. The pace of life is SLOW and after getting out of the rat race, that is wonderful.
Cons- even Matagalpa is a bit warm for us from noon-5pm, you can’t flush toilet paper, and there is no such thing as punctuality. Yes, there is in your face poverty.
We hope to stay for a year or two. My wife is Nicaraguan.
So you are the expert, where in Matagalpa should we be going for a good cup of coffee or coffee to bring home ?
Thanks, Scott
Is it only where you live that you can't flush TP???
@@kjvtruth9831
No, that is true in a huge part of the world.
All of Nicaragua, as far as I am aware. True in most of Mexico.
We lived in Naples, Florida for many years…short drive to Miami. Our daughters had friends from all Latin countries. Occasionally we would walk into our bathroom and see poopy tp in the trash can….from a young person that hadn’t figured out yet that they could flush it in the US.
@@therehastobesomethingmoore Well, I've lived in Cuba, Paraguay, Peru, Argentina and been to a lot of Mexico.. never saw that issue...
You can flush it in some places but most of the country probably not. It might be related to water pressure and the size of the pipelines.
@@mkinvincible
Yes, the size of the plumbing pipes cant handle it. If I remember correctly, it is not a problem at the Intercontinental in Managua, but in most of the country you flush TP at your own peril. 😃
Would you be interested in doing a video on finding and purchasing farm land in Nicaragua? I feel so called to Nicaragua and now trying to find as much information on it as I can!
Hey! Yes I can put one together. Thanks for watching! I recommend travel down here to spend some time getting to know the area.
Hi sir, good day!! I know this is not the proper platform to ask this but I see this video of yours and it's makes me more curious and excited to move in Nicaragua hopefully in the future. I really want to move thier in Managua but I really don't know how. Now I'm currently working as a helper and I am really looking for any possibilities to come over on that country. Thank you so much!! Have a nice day!!
YO GREAT VIDEO BRO
Hello Scott. I sense your passion for your goals; it comes through in your eyes and gesture. I was born in Managua, my dad is fro Isla de Ometepe. The sharks in the lake are bull sharks and come from the Atlantic from Río San Juan. There are no longer sufficient food supply in Lake Cocibolca for this apex predator. My dad was born in 1939 and according to him, there has never been a threat to humans bc they were a rare sight to see.
Thank you! Cool story thank you for sharing! Cheers and blessings!
Thank you for watching and sharing. It means a lot to us !
Winter months are ok. But from May to November the heat is very oppressive. I’ve been coming to Nica since 2010. Also, the coast is a lot better then the interior valleys. The mountains , are not too bad.
It can get really hot!
I’m with you on impacting the world.
I look forward to visiting your country
Thank you!
Great video!
Gracias primo!
great video
getting my TESL and im moving there in January when my lease is up. im done with the U.S and california. Bay Area native here. took care of my family 2 kids and a wife for 5 years and i get one 4 hour visit a month. discgrace and i never did anything wrong or no charges against me. juddge was a prick. im done.
I love Nicaragua.
Go Nica!
What kind of things are there to do for fun with kids that’s not nature based? Like are there places for family entertainment? Arcades, movie theaters, bowling, malls, trampoline parks etc?
The have movies and indoor parks at the mall, you can go paintballing.
Oh ok that’s cool thanks
Australia that has a Bull Shark that has adapted to fresh water as well as salt water. Savage
Love this! Thanks for the info! 🌞🌞🌞How can you afford to travel living and working in Nica? Also do you have health benefits there???
Thank you for watching! I saved up so money to travel. Health care here is cheap and affordable. I will make a video on it explaining more.
Loved your video. In the South, they call it: CP Time. 😊 Jodido!
Thanks brotha! Cheers!
Looking forward to your future videos. Did it take you a long time to learn Spanish? Thanks!
Thanks. I learned as a little boy.
@@EmenseCoffee Lucky boy!
Please explain more about government stability , President Daniel Ortega, is it safe for expats , etc ?
It is safe . Just dnt partey on any political issues and conversations.
Stay out of politics. When your here act like a guest and everything is fine. You have to chose what important. Safety here is pretty much what's normal. No one can tell you things will be stable. We don't know the future. I've been here 17 years and never felt more safe.
Bull sharks have been found in the Mississippi River as far as Alton, Illinois, which is about 700 miles from the ocean.
Thanks for clearing up!
Great video! Thanks for the info. The disposable cup?, C'mon man.
lol! thanks for watching!
What altitude you need for coffee farm? I guess Colombia coffee is the best coffee growing regions in the higher hills?
My farm is at 1,200m, higher altitudes generally leads to better tasting coffee.
Nice editing!
Thank you papi
Es solo una percepción diferente del tiempo. Sí, hay que acostumbrarse, si querés que alguien llegue a las 3, tienen que decirle que necesitan verlo a las 2. 😅Al menos en mi familia, en lo que no somos inpuntuales es en el café de las 2 de la tarde.☕
si tenes razon! Saludos y bendiciones!
Nicaragua is a beautiful country , you have to be careful like every where you go
That’s a common misconception that keeps tourist out. Like every other place on this planet you have to know where it’s safe and where it’s not …
I am currently in the middle of a video/motorcycle project documenting how it is to live in every country in latin america as well as telling the story of foreigners/expats already living in each place and why. As for my project, I live minimum 6 weeks in every country and am currently in Nicaragua. From what ive seen in your content you're currently living here, right? Interested in doing some collab work? Id love to tell your story
Hi! Let's do it! You can schedule a time to chat on here. This way we can plan it out. calendly.com/emensecoffeemovement/60minoneonone?month=2023-11
How is the WI FI connection in the coastal towns? I'd love to teach English online and surf all day.
It's good! come try it out!
Lmao bro I’ve been living in Nicaragua for 5 years now and the fact that you mentioned people are late for everything has me cracking up. It’s something I’m honestly still not used too 😂. But I will say the opportunity this country has is next level! Also im partner in a few restaurants in Managua If you have micro lots shoot me a message I’d love to buy.
Sounds good man! I can get in contact with you and we can talk some coffee. Do you have instagram?!
My boyfriend is from there and he is late to everything lol
@@SmileeR6Gayl 😂 funny
Ideay, hora nica es hora nica mae hahaha greetings 😂😅😅
Lol!!! We moved to Nica a year ago and we always say "no sense of urgency....until they get behind the wheel/handle bars"🤷🏽♀️😂
We love it here, and learn something new every day. It only gets better!!
Would love to meet you and have some great convo over excellent coffee😉
Thanks for your content💪🏽
I liked and subscribed. Great video. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! where are you watching from?
@@EmenseCoffee Jacksonville Florida
@@rgold02 nice! Welcome to the channel. Have u been Nicaragua before?
@@EmenseCoffee No, but Luis wants me to go there to meet his family. Not sure if I am ready for that yet. Taking one day at a time.
@@EmenseCoffee no, not yet.
Trust funded youngsters who worked so hard before the age of 30 are very entertaining
I wish to visit it how can I go about it sir
how much do you have to pay for travel insurance?
I am very curious about living there. However a big thing is work. How easy is it for an American to find work to support yourself? How welcomed are Americans that want to live there?
Americans are welcomed. I would suggest finding remote work online. That's what alot of people do here.
Aaaa... in within 5 minutes... you were back in the Bay area to meet your wife and now i see you are leaving for good!
Making me dizzy to follow you around...
:)
Nice. Subscribed...
Thank you my friend! I’m glad you liked the video!
Is the electricity reliable there? As in are there regular power outages?
Power in the winter usually goes out couple times a week for us. But it's for few mins. Not sure about other parts of Nica.
I see this was 9 months ago, but I'm curious, where are you living in Nic...or what town/city is close? Thanks. I'm really enjoying learning by watching your videos.
Thank you I am up North in Nicaragua.
Awesome! Hope to visit someday.
@@EmenseCoffee
Yo soy the Lares, Puerto Rico. I grew up in a coffee farm!!! Headed to NICA in July! Just subscribed, we must connect! Where do you live in NICA?
What part of Nica are you going to?
@@Seekingtruth-mx3ur starting in Playa Tesoro, then León, Matagalpa, and then maybe Corn islands. Will, do the 90 and extend till no more extensions available, then to Guatemala!
Should arrive sometime in August
@@enough1494 Sounds like an adventure! All the best to you, Thinking of moving back.
Maybe it's stated somewhere but what town/city u live at? Thx!
I live in nueva segovia region.
speaking Spanish is mandatory if you really want to live in Nicaragua Nicaragua. or having someone on your team that does
true that!
I was once late getting an expense report in at the office and THREE PEOPLE DIED! I never clocked out again.
Haha!!
I like the way you pronounce Nicaragua.😊
Great video. I’m looking into visiting there soon.
Cheers ☕️
Nice! Thank you for watching. Enjoy your trip! Were are you watching from?!
I live in Petit de Grat, Cape Breton.
It’s a small island on the Atlantic. The winter can be harsh at times so that’s why I’m looking to go to Nicaragua for a months or two. I’m still doing research to find a place to rent…thanks for asking.😊❤️
@@markgconnors7932 you will love getting some sun in Nicaragua. San Juan Del Sur is a beautiful place right on the pacific. You can travel up and down the coast visiting beaches. On encuentra24.com you find listing. Good luck!
Wow! Thank you so much!
Wow! Thank you so much!
Sharks, down in Chiriqui panama,
If you are able to lower your expectations, it's one of the best places to live in this crazy world.
❤epic ermano
Thank you my friend!
Hey Scott. From the SF bay area and have family out there. Do you know of any companies that export to the US from Nicaragua?
Hi friend how are you? I want to come Nicaragua.would give me invitation latter to be there
Been watching your channel... We're thinking about visiting for a couple week vacation but got caught watching your vids.
Any chance youd ever be willing to ship cigars for me in Canada? I'm afraid if we visit I won't be able to get the Oliva cigars I'd like.
Obviously cover all costs plus extra for your time.
what part of Nicaragua will you visit?! how much cigar are you looking for?!
What cities manufacture cigars and are they coastal?
Esteli is a major one along with Jalap where they grow tabaco. This is north of nicaragua, In Granada too which is more costal.
Can you comment at all on the Bitcoin adaptation? Thank you. I will try your coffee.
I have not seen any bitcoin adaptation. El Salvador will be the country for that.
How does Nicaragua compare to Honduras, are they very different?
I think they are very similar, we love Honduras.
which is better atlantic or pacific side?
Pacific is more develop easier access and more of a beach lifestyle.
if it's so hot there, why are you wearing a winter jacket?
What about internet access? Possible to do remote work from there?
Good question. Internet access is excellent. I have ran into a lot of digital nomads who work from Nicaragua. They love it.
Unfortunately you are wrong, there is a fresh water shark in Zimbabwe, the Zambezi Shark, permanently trapped since the 1950s due to Kariba Dam.
What can I do for a living like you in order to pay for my living??? Can you recommend a remote job ?
try IT or any maybe search up jobs in indeed.
Nica de ❤..💙🤍🙏🙌
Que bueno! De que parte de Nicaragua eres?!
Great video! My husband and I plan on visiting Nicaragua next year and will maybe move there depending on how this next election goes. The United States is going to shit. We want to reside our baby girl somewhere safer and eat better too!
La elecciones aquí en Nicaragua o estados unidos?
What is the best area to move to as a U.S. citizen ?
Portugal
