Welcome to Our Blog About Our Life, Travels & Living in Paraguay!
We’re a Family of Four from Australia & NZ who went on a Journey to Find a New Place to Call Home…
In October 2022 we left our home in New Zealand to embark on a journey to find a new place to live. Sadly our ‘slice of paradise’ was changing and it wasn’t for the better!
We no longer felt like we could pursue our lifestyle dreams in NZ. Our first stop was Guatemala, from there we spent time in El Salvador, Nicaragua & Costa Rica. We are now in Paraguay and we have been here for nearly 2.5 years.
We have learnt a lot along the way, and we want to share our ‘on the ground experiences’. Maybe you are on a similar journey and want to know more about Paraguay?
If so read on…..
Moving to Paraguay
Life has been interesting in the last few years or so, to say the least!
We are thinking that, finally, we may be able to stop and take a breath now that we are settled in Paraguay. This blog is a result of that pause. It’s important to us that we pass on the information & experiences we have gathered along the way to help others that may be on the same journey, looking for a new place to call home.
It’s a challenge moving to a continent where your native language isn’t generally spoken. It automatically puts you on the back foot. Couple that with a lack of up-to-date online information, some people that just want your money and expat forums that don’t always provide the clear information that you need.
Check out our blog posts below for an insight into our everyday life in Paraguay. We also have lots of practical information on our RESOURCES page and also on our YouTube channel OUR LIFE IN PARAGUAY
Enjoy, and maybe we will meet you here in Paraguay one day!
