I Visited The Americas' Strangest Dictatorship (#188)

This is Nicaragua. It's never been as tourist friendly as Costa Rica, nor has it been as violent as it's northern neighbors. Nicaragua doesn't fit neatly into a box. The eastern half of the country speaks English, a legacy of British colonialism and American intervention. The rest of the country speaks a unique dialect of Spanish. With volcanos and lakes, the nature is stunning.
And oh yeah, it's also a transit point for drugs arriving from South America. But as we'll see, this isn't Cartel land..

My annual trip to Latin America! Vamos chicos. And also the last video from my backlog. Big, big trip after this. By the way, had to remove a few scenes from this because YT copyright claimed the background music. I'll put those and some other extra scenes from the trip on Patreon: www.patreon.com/sabbaticaltommy

These videos got me through so many tough moments in the past few years. It's entertainment meets therapy meets slice of life documentary. Thanks for all your hard work, Tommy!

Glad to see you away from all the craziness of the US right now. Nice stress-free vlog. ๐๐ฝ

I started to follow you approximately a year ago, when you were visiting South Africa and would never have thought you will visit my country. More than glad you are visiting Nicaragua, more than happy they granted you the opportunity to enter the country as because of the complexity of the social and political local status many youtubers entrance were denied. Please enjoy.

Tommy, you are one of the few Youtubers who explain some history about the countries you visit. So far you've visited 3 countries where I've lived: Jamaica, Guyana, and Suriname. Also, if you notice, the Nicaraguans who speak English sounds a lot like Jamaicans, and the patty they sell on the road is typical of Jamaica, but they are sold in restaurants instead. Google 'Jamaican Beef Patty'

I just found this channel a few days ago, and can't get enough of these videos, and I thank you for making them. I can't tell you how much I wish I could visit these places, but this is the next-best thing.

That lady friend of yours seems like she is worried about what her significant other might think about her guiding you about!

Hi Tommy, i'm in my late 20's and i suffer from a disability that makes it very hard to get around and explore, so thank you for allowing me to explore via your videos, Nicaragua seems like such an intresting place, i also enjoyed your Eritrea video and When you met that lady in the Japanese thrift (rehoming?) store :)

Chicken buses! Enjoyed this! Have spent time and toured through Nicaragua on a motorcycle, there are some of the nicest people you could ever meet living there, especially in the more rural areas.
