-info about Nicaragua- 🌟 host in Nicaragua till June — see you in Asia later 🖖🏽 León → Managua – C$78 Managua → Granada – C$37 Granada → Rivas – C$50 (foreigners are often charged C$100, including a so-called “backpack fee” if you come with a big backpack). Real Conductor collects the money halfway through the ride, ignore those guy in the bus station trying to collect the ‘backpack fee’ money only from foreigers. Sit with the locals and follow what they do. Prepare small change in advance. Added a few Granada tips in the album — hope it helps 🌿 —————1. About me—— world trip year 6. Started as 15 days round ticket thought just Machu Picchu then I would back to my corporate job. it end up I gave up my return ticket , and travel - living in Latin America for 7 years so far including Chile, Argentina, Peru, Colombia, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. (Ins: ola.Lin). I’m amazed and observing how ppl live elsewhere, and what I could learn, what I should avoid. The world like a book, through the travel I feels like got some of humanity back which I used to trade for ‘better life ‘. 👉This is NOT Tinder, serve very different purp, at least for me.(read 2 times b4 message/decide host me). I value connections, NOT transactions. I hate wasting time on this. 🫸🏻: I’m spontaneous, but once we set a time, I’m Punctual. Keep waiting without heads-up annoying me. I don’t commit time to people who label being late as ‘culture.’ - That’s one of my social filters are for. 🌟: up to hangout for badminton or pickleball. —————2. For when I as host: ————— Write message before send request. Include active social account (FB or IG) tells who you are, especially if you don’t have many references. Only hosting people I can get a basic feel for. Make sure you read my home rules before send request. I enjoy solitude & keep social circle small. If I don’t respond, means I’m not available. Hope you have a wonderful trip! **** 🌟I’ve got an old sewing machine and no idea how to use it, if you into sewing & fixing & creating, & like to explore this with me, that’s a big plus! —————3. When as traveler why I send you the request I love Couchsurfing because it lets me stay with open-hearted locals, building a deeper connection with the places I visit, and live a life I might have had, if I were you. I’m more than happy to spend time with you over the little things in life, but I’m also comfortable exploring on my own. And by the way, ‘doing nothing’ is part of my trip! So don’t be surprised if you find me just chilling now and then.
