Lifestyle

Lifestyle, travel & daily routine highlights (Paraguay)

Weather/heat conditions

  • It’s hot most of the year (the speaker mentions “summer slowly beginning” for them in late September).
  • Temperature estimates mentioned:
    • Asunción: roughly 2–3°C warmer than the southern city he’s in (e.g., +38°C vs +35°C).
    • Northern Paraguay: around +10°C to +12–15°C hotter than Incarnación due to being closer to the equator.
    • Incarnación: average ~35–40°C, with peaks approaching ~48°C (referencing a past year).

Advice implied/explicit

  • If you can’t adapt physiologically to heat, it’s best not to come.
  • Avoid long outdoor time to reduce:
    • UV exposure / skin damage
    • extreme sweating and dehydration
  • During peak heat, he goes indoors and adjusts his apartment:
    • changing cracks/vent on windows
    • closing openings to reduce hot-air drafts
  • He also says he learned (over ~2 years in one apartment) that an “oasis” is possible even without AC/fan, by managing ventilation.

Storms/wind risks

  • Very strong hurricane-like storms occur about once every ~2 months.
  • Historical anecdote: ~100 years ago, a severe wind event destroyed roofs and even walls in Incarnación, and the city was later rebuilt.

Filming/camera & comfort habits (autotest while walking)

  • He walks in the heat using shade to reduce UV exposure and overheating.
  • He tests a camera setting:
    • “Discrepancy correction” to remove the fisheye effect (making the image look more “straight”).
    • Possible side effects: the correction may crop/trim and enlarge slightly, so some frame parts may look different.
  • He checks whether 6-axis stabilization stays enabled when correction is on.
  • Observations:
    • stabilization and white balance mostly work
    • sometimes the sky turns too white instead of blue

Paraguay life & mindset (for potential visitors/investors)

  • The video’s purpose is to help people considering Paraguay understand whether it’s a fit.
  • He addresses viewer comments related to:
    • finances
    • investments
    • moving large amounts of money into Paraguay
  • He emphasizes he won’t give direct investment advice—he shares personal thoughts and experience with strong disclaimers.

Major point for investors

Before thinking about money/income, evaluate whether you can realistically live there. He frames it as two decision options:

  • A) Climate/health fit (temperature, ability to handle heat)
  • B) Real estate investment fit (returns/dividends goal)

Health & comfort routines (what he personally does)

Sun/UV protection by behavior

  • Walk mainly in shade
  • Limit time outdoors

Hydration

  • At about ~31°C, he says you’ll likely be sweating, so you should walk with water to replace fluids.

Heat tolerance threshold (personal)

  • Around 38–40°C, he can’t stay outside anymore and retreats indoors.

Real estate / investment considerations he emphasizes

Understand the land by living there

  • He says you need to spend time observing at least two seasons to understand differences in:
    • rain/flooding patterns
    • areas that never get water vs areas that become swampy
    • vegetation that dies naturally from lack of moisture

How he describes local seasons

  • Autumn and spring: somewhat similar; vegetation/life responds differently
  • Summer: distinct and longer/major
  • Winter: about 1.5 months, with strong cold winds from Antarctica
    • For people from Russia, it may feel like central Russia autumn, but with wind.

Cost-of-living note

  • Despite a “cheap” reputation, he claims average spending is about similar to CIS/Russia when currency is compared (shops may cost similarly; roads look worse).

Tax/financial logistics (high-level)

  • Moving/withdrawing money can involve taxes (he mentions ~10%).
  • Business/documentation matters; many processes are electronic, but recognition of certain documentation formats may lag compared to elsewhere.

Language learning tip (practical step for relocating/investing)

  • If you plan to buy land or manage a farm, he strongly suggests:
    • Learn Spanish

Timeline example from his own learning

  • First ~6 months: he understood almost nothing
  • Around month ~7: he began recognizing words and understanding context when talking to neighbors (using translation initially)

Food/travel stop: shopping & restaurants (Commercial Center area)

  • He goes to a Commercial Center / shopping area to test routes and film.
  • Restaurants mentioned:
    • “New Rodeo”
    • “American Grill”

Differences he notes

  • American Grill is described as cheaper by ~$3–4 (compared against Rodeo).
  • Both offer a buffet/all-inclusive style:
    • beverages are often paid separately
    • “inclusive” generally means food + buffet + lots of meat
  • He believes American Grill has less meat variety (about 1/3 less) than New Rodeo, which may explain pricing.
  • He mentions past approximate guarani pricing and compares between the two, but figures are unclear due to subtitle errors.
