Leon is an absolute must-stay destination when people travel through Nicaragua. With volcano boarding, night hikes, surfing amongst dozens of other amazing tours it’s easy to spend a week in Leon and have an awesome, jam-packed schedule of things to do. Also, with so many other travelers popping in for days it’s a great place to meet new travel buddies, have a few drinks and generally use it as a base to sort out the next leg of your journey.

I had heard all of this in advance so I wanted a place where I would be comfortable to chill for a while, and as usual, do a spot of online work too. I came across Hostel Colibri and I was sold. Nicaragua is pretty cheap, so beds here started at $9, but even better for me was that a private room was only $18, done.

There is wifi through the whole place, including my room, which meant I had no excuse not to catch up on some blogging. Also, as all my traveling pals know, laundry is always an issue. But at the hostel they do it all in the SAME day – oh, i love you for that Hostel Colibri.

Each morning breakfast is included, pancake, coffee, fruit – served fresh. In terms of location , the hosteL is slap bang in the middle of Leon, between lots of great street food, coffee shops and tour operators.

Not only that but through the hostel’s tour company, then can even set you up on a bus taking you to the next stop, which more often than not will be the GORGEOUS town of Granada, where they have another office, meaning you can plan all your activities there too. It doesn’t get much easier than this, and after two weeks in Honduras, this is exactly what I needed. Thanks guys 🙂

Remember, never travel without travel insurance! And never overpay for travel insurance!

I use HeyMondo. You get INSTANT quotes. Super cheap, they actually pay out, AND they cover almost everywhere, where most insurance companies don't (even places like Central African Republic etc!).

Do you work remotely? Are you a digital nomad/blogger etc? You need to be insured too.

I use SafetyWing for my digital nomad insurance. It covers me while I live overseas. It's just $10 a week, and it's amazing! No upfront fees, you just pay week by week, and you can sign up just for a week if you want, then switch it off and on whenever. You can read my review here, and you can sign-up here!
