Inspired Overseas Living

Paraguay, South America, has beautiful flowering trees and plants year round, and an abundance of mangoes and papayas. The warm climate does make for more creepy crawlers however, and cockroaches and spiders are also quite abundant. US citizens will need a visa to enter the country, and several vaccinations are advisable. The official languages of Paraguay are Spanish and Guarani, and English is very rare. As for religion, Paraguay is mostly Catholic, although many other denominations are also represented.

For entertainment, many of the locals spend their spare time just hanging out with friends and neighbors. Barbecues, or pool parties are popular for leisure time activities, and sipping the national tea, or yerba, is a refreshing way to relax.

Some of the highlights when in Paraguay are visiting the Jesuit ruins, the Yguazu waterfalls, or the Chaco, which is pleasing to the eyes. The area towns have many different skills they are known for, such as wood carvings in Tobati, hammocks in Carapegua, and guitars and jewelry in Luque.

Paraguay is a fairly cheap place to live, but most of the residents make their living in the agricultural business. Finding a place to live may be the hardest task you have.
