Best Places In The World To Retire

All the restaurants in the Puerto Vallarta area are fabulous. There is a lot of variety. The restaurants in Sayulita, where I live, about an hour north of Puerto Vallarta, are absolutely wonderful.
 
In both areas you get this really great fusion of European influence, traditional Mexican, and then there’s this Mexican fusion, which like a modern interpretation of Mexican food. For example, you can have a chile relleno with a nice different filling or different salsas that...

In both areas you get this really great fusion of European influence, traditional Mexican, and then there’s this Mexican fusion, which like a modern interpretation of Mexican food. For example, you can have a chile relleno with a nice different filling or different salsas that are not traditional that bring out some new, exciting flavors. The food here is so fabulous. It’s so fresh. The seafood laid out right here out of the ocean and very affordable.

I have been living in the Lisbon area countryside since 1983, the first ten years as a single woman living alone, and up to now have never felt unsafe. What exists in this area is mostly petty crimes of opportunity, eg. bags or cameras left in a parked car, or houses obviously unoccupied.

Any restaurant you go to in Nicaragua and eat something with gravy or soup or have a cup of coffee or a cup of tea, you’re drinking their water. They don’t cook with purified water. Given this, I haven’t had a problem at all, but anyone with a delicate stomach might have a problem.
 
I don’t use the water here in Nicaragua as drinking water.  I shower in it, brush my teeth in it, but I do not drink it. They have here purified water here...

I had my water tested from my farm because where my farm is they have had a lot of gold mines close by for over 150 years now. I tested it for mercury and arsenic and it came out .001, while the American standard is .002
 
My water comes from a well.  Different communities have their own wells so different cities have their own wells. The water throughout Nicaragua does not come out all from one well or one location, like it does in many parts of the US.  Each area has its own well it pulls from.  The city of Matagalpa pulls its own water. I’m in a place called La Grecia and they have their own well. Then the next county has its own well.

Offshore asset protection is the highest form of protection a US citizen can have.  Even with the disclosures on the 8938 and other IRS tax forms, privacy is greatly enhanced when assets are held offshore.  An offshore trust is a powerful asset protection tool when used correctly.

What everyone says is true. I have never heard of any type of religious prejudice or persecution. Out of curiosity, I have attended services of several denominations. In all I have been welcomed without question. I enjoy the music, singing and the presentations of the ministers too - even if I can't understand everything they say. In Panama, you can worship as you want. Nice.
