Balancing Preparation and Dynamicity

It's Saturday, May 9th; 17 days from Brandon (soon to be Gabriel) and I picking up and moving to Nicaragua, Central America. We couldn't be more excited! We decided to create a blog not only to document our new lives in a creative way, but to be a source of knowledge for our close friends and family who may want to travel in the future. Living in a third-world country that, despite being poor, is deemed safest country in Central America. Our one-week experience here in January of this year expanded our view on lifestyle and culture to the point of wanting a change of environment.

We're currently in the midst cleaning house; selling unneeded items, giving clothes to goodwill, ending leases and meeting up with friends all while working a ton and making deadlines.

So, we leave on May 27th at 12:00 a.m. and arrive just before noon in Managua. From there, we've planned only a two-night stay just south of San Juan del Sur, where we plan on being for at least a month. SJDS is incredibly beautiful, inexpensive and home to expats, natives and Europeans. I can't really think of a place it compares to, but here's an aerial view... Can't wait!
