After living in Chile, Algeria and some West African countries in a professional capacity, it is in Nicaragua that I decided to settle permanently with my family in 2015. Why ? During my first trip to Nicaragua, I was amazed by its cultural richness, its authenticity, the warm welcome of its inhabitants, its paradisiacal beaches, its volcanoes, its lakes and the diversity of its fauna and flora. 

Still unknown destination and preserved from mass tourism, I will be delighted to make you discover this fantastic country!
