And while in Mexico...



So you live there now?

It seems like it's really hard nowadays to find a nice/warm/affordable place to live in the Caribbean/Central America region. Surprisingly the most stable location I've been to in that region is Cuba. Too bad their Internet is 14.4kbps quality. Otherwise I would have moved there. 3 hours flight from Canada. It would have been perfect.

No, I screwed up on the title. I meant, "Meanwhile in Mexico..."

I've heard Nicaragua is beautiful and peaceful, but not sure, as I've never been. My one month in Barbados was enough to scare me away from the entire Caribbean region.
 
lol what didn't you like about barbados?

What did you like about Barbados? Did you go from airport to 5 star resort, and stayed there, except for guided tour trips? Or what?

In Barbados, you're stuck in 5 star "luxury" hotels, and can't venture out without a driver or guide, or something. If you do, you'll get eaten alive.
 
Costa Rica,Nicaragua and Guatemala are fine. Mexico is fine in parts.

You're going to have opportunistic crime because they're poorer countries but that happens anywhere in the world.
