Before it all began!

So here I am, surfing the web, in the winter months of Canada. What am I searching for? Am I looking for a way out? I think so. I need a plan, a plan to escape before I get caught up in the daily routines and obsessions in this North American “society”. My name is Luke Boychuk, I am 22 years old, and I do not know what my purpose in life is, all I know is that I have to live it, and I can’t do it here.

So I come across a random posting stating that land is cheap in Nicaragua. Yeah, but how cheap? So I spend the next couple hours researching, and was definitely interested. I tell my girlfriend Jodie and she was pretty stoked on it as well, we talk about “dreams” and what we could do, then fall asleep. Next day comes, next week comes, and I forget about it.

1 month later, I get a package in the mail, hmm…I surprisingly open it up, and it is a book about “Living and Investing in the New Nicaragua” by Christopher Howard. Right away, I knew Jodie ordered it for me, so I call her up and thank her. It turns out if she didnt do this for me, I would of pursued something else.

So the obession began, I am the type of person who once I have my mind set on something, I do it until the end. Now the journey begins. I spend months researching and taking in as much as I can.

I needed a partner, someone to share this with, and nobody better to trust then my younger brother, Travis Boychuk. I knew that he would be 150 percent stoked on the idea, and sure enough, he was. Travis is 20 years old, and shares the same motivation as me, we are brothers, as well as friends. After a couple weeks of idea swapping, we finally did it…we booked 2 tickets to Nicaragua. 3 weeks later, we were gone…just to check it out to see if we would like it.
