I miss my Freedom Family!! I’m still adventuring in Nicaragua and loving every minute of it. It is the most free, friendliest and wealthiest country I have ever been in.

In the past 6 weeks of my own exploration and investigation, I have found:

1. No major crime – I’ve never seen police anywhere except directing traffic or in a parade.
2. In this city, I’ve only heard a siren twice – in 6 weeks! It was an ambulance both times.
3. People eat off the trees and from their gardens, and they fish year round for next to nothing to feed themselves/families, and the rest they sell for income.

4. Affordable – $1000 USD/Month is doable for a single or couple and includes furnished apartment and all the food you need to be satisfied and healthy.
5. 24C – 30C year round temperatures.
6. Humid – no more dry skin ever.
7. The most beautiful and diverse wildlife I have ever witnessed. I made friends early on with a monkey. He stands 3.5 ft tall and whenever I am in his area, he always comes right up to me to say hello.
8. No one is living in tents or less. No one is hungry. If someone needs a home, they pick where they want to live and provided the land is unoccupied by another, the government gives them the land for nothing and then they, plus friends/strangers/volunteers, build a house.

Shelter and access to enough healthy food should be a human right – without need to produce labor for it. After all, the earth provides all of us with air, water, food and resources of the earth for our use – for free. It is for us to use and enjoy.

In Nicaragua, freedom like I never knew could exist on this planet, exists here.

Editor’s note: We are sharing this story, not for the sake of encouraging people to move there, but simply to show people there are other ways. There are other possibilities on how to live more freely without being shackled to coldhearted, greed-driven, corporate culture. Let that thought percolate a while.
