Kayak or Bust in Nicaragua
(A "Reader's Story" from Women's Adventure Magazine)
Jennifer Shulzitski
After years of travel in Central America, I finally stumbled upon the Pacific Northwest Coast of Nicaragua - the fishing community of Padre Ramos and the vibrant city of Leon. This good fortune has already changed the course of my life forever, and you just can’t say that every day of your life, so I had to write and tell you more about my new-found home and adventures.
In Nicaragua, I fell in love with the warmth of the people, the beauty of the protected nature reserves, and the splendor of the shoreline as it calmly embraces the belching and sputtering chain of volcanoes. The city of Leon is overflowing with museums, artists, poets, architecture, and history. I mean, who doesn’t crave authentic, cultural experiences? But after venturing to Chiapas, Baja, Honduras, Belize, Guatemala, and Costa Rica, I have learned to search for places that provide comforts, including safety and hospitality, yet stretch my perspectives in a challenging way. Welcome to Nicaragua! Come with me, while I describe the reasons I have fallen in love.
