The Tranquilo Traveler
The Tranquilo Traveler is a celebration of voluntourism, slow travel, and other interesting ways to see the world. Travel writer and award- winning Moon Handbooks author Joshua Berman created The Tranquilo Travel as a resource for world trippers and international volunteers, a window to the author’s travels in Nicaragua, Belize, and beyond, and an update of his books and articles.
Bags are packed, I’m ready to go—a Nicaragua, hijueputa!
It’s been ten years since I first set foot in Nicaragua and I’ve been lucky enough to return many times. Still, every trip to The Land of Lakes and Volcanoes is a vividly unique experience. Nicaragua is comfortable for me—yet still insanely foreign. On this trip, I’ll be stomping around Granada, Masaya, and Los Pueblos Blancos, the first places in which I was introduced to the country in 1998. This is Nicaragua at its lushest, greenest time of year … stay tuned for pretty pictures.

Margaret,
Thank you for your comment. If you’ve ever been to Nicaragua, then you know that this phrase (which is a contracted, casual form of “son of a bitch”) is used in nearly every spoken sentence. Es muy, muy Nica, donde el lenguaje y cultura son bien picante. Tenes razon sobre el uso de este frase, pero como este espacio es para mis amigos (incluso tu), pues no veo ningun problema.
Cuidate bien, y gracias por visitar mi sitio.
Josue

I appreciate the enthusiasm and the enjoyment the writer has, but the use of the term “hij……a” is totally inappropriate, and in fact, disrespectful. Disrespectful of the readers, of the site, and the subject.
Por favor tenga más respeto y no sea tan vulgar en este espacio. Eso sirve para cuando estés hablando con tus amigos, pero no en un espacio público. A mi me ofende.
