Advice on living in central america?

i want to live there on the beach preferably. i am a us citizen. where would you suggest i plan to stay? i was thinking panama but considering no one would hire me.. maybe not. im also up for islands as long as the real estate for an acre is under 100k. i want to be out of the path of hurricanes for the most part. being secluded isnt an issue as long as im close to an airport. i intend to build my own gas/ solar powered home. so power isnt an issue either





suggestions? have you ever been there? lived there? are there passable roads? hospitals?Advice on living in central america?
how do you feel about...Costa Rica or Nicaragua?





I don麓t think El Salvador or Guatemala are good choices because in my opinion those are the unsafest countries in Central America (due to maras ';gangs';, and there is a lot of crime)





I think Panama is a good choice also...I don麓t know about Honduras...





Costa Rica is the country with more economic development


and Nicaragua is the safest and biggest country in CA but has had political issues lately, but also has a lot of cultural diversity due to a vast european immigration during the last century...





You can check this links which will you give you info about both countries.

There are many US citizens living on the North coast and Bay Islands of Honduras. La Ceiba and Roatan both have an international airport, good doctors, hospitals, roads and the cost of living is a pittance compared to the US. Do a bit of research on the web then pay us a visit.
Check out the Bay Islands of Houduras. Many English speakers there already.


Take a long vacation there and check out each island and see if one of them says to you, ';Yes, you could live here.';
DO NOT LIVE IN CENTRAL AMERICA.
Good luck with that.
I dont have a clue cos i live in scotland
Check out the Bocas del Toro region of Panama. The area around Isla Colon (Bocas) is very touristy and there are people that will hire you simply because you can speak english. Most islands in this area your are able to get 100 year leases from the governement and water concessions for your dock. They do not charge on improvements to an island for 20 years (taxes). If you buy from a local person you can get a small island for 10,000. If your buying from a non local expect to pay 40,000 and up. There are no hurricanes in this area. Isla Colon has business that provide solar systems, water systems, and even internet. This area is mostly a boating area although there are some roads on Bocas. The hospital is great for small injuries and very cheap however a serious condition would require a flight or a bus ride to either David or Panama city. I lived three years in Panama and if you have any questions about it you could email me.
