Matagalpa, Nicaragua

Studying the chances to move there in a few years, probably by my 70th birthday. I'm planning a visit in 2025-26
Not visited yet, but I suppose that nature, low cost of life and good local food (produce) are good.
Can't say.

Putre, Arica y Parinacota, Chile

Life and family business (with my wife).
B&B owner and manager; tour guide and 4x4 vehicle excursions. Map editor (for that area).
Nature and weather.
Chile can be quite expensive for many items, food included. The food is not so great and variegated. The people were not reliable at all (with very few exceptions).

Palanga, Klaip臈dos apskritis, Lithuania

Living together my wife.
Part time teacher of the Italian language at a private school.
People mind their own business and are quite, perhaps too quite sometimes. The area was beautiful and relaxed (for my taste).
The weather was (for me) terrible: very short summer and lack of sunlight. Plenty of rain, of course: the name itself, "Lietuva", means "land of rain". Lithuanian laws where sometimes ridiculous. A mix of European (they were part of) and Soviet laws was an obstacle to open a certain business in a certain location.

Life in couple in the middle of a forest.
Photographer, until lasted...
Nice landscape of the Region. Not so expensive cost of living, especially if compared to Italy (in those years). Good food.
Narrow minded people, at least in that Region, and "nose in the air" people all over the country. Id i did not have a need to work I would have staid longer.
