Are You Safer in Nicaragua?

Voyaging through Nicaragua was my first introduction and experience into this new country. Arriving at the border crossing between Costa Rica and Nicaragua, it was soon apparent that Nicaragua was going to be a serene and pleasant adventure. The feeling of safety and comfort that came over me was much needed while on this journey. In comparison to some of the other countries that I have visited, Nicaragua quickly made its way to the top. I admired and appreciated everything from the police, to the locals assisting with directions. Although the directions given might not be top notch, they will always give it a valiant effort.
