Nicaragua Information is My Passion
How I came to publish This Is Nicaragua on Facebook
My name Danilo Gabuardi Lacayo I was born in Managua, Nicaragua quite some time ago.
At the age of eight we moved to San Francisco, CA. where I studied my grammar and high school. One year after I finished school we came back to Nicaragua.
Times were different and superior studies where not so important when there was a family business.
Fortunately in those days, the English language was something most desired by the international companies coming into the country.
A friend who knew me well for my good English and my empirical business education offered me a job as sales manager for an international company (propane gas distributors).
Later, I also worked for a gas oil company as zone representative in charge of ten gas stations and bulk sales.
A Taste For Self-Employment
After the employee experience, I decided to work by myself, did so with some success, until 1979, when a leftist movement overthrew a dictator and they themselves created a leftist dictatorship.
Then my business collapsed, for my sales were 99 percent credit, nobody wanted to work, nobody wanted to pay, many abandoned their houses and left the country.
During this time I lived in Leon, Nicaragua while my wife finished her studies in the year 1986, when decided to exile to Miami, just as thousands of Nicaraguans had done since 1979 in search of opportunities and a new beginning.
The first two years in exile were quite hard. Then came the opportunity to work for the same international oil company I had worked for in Nicaragua, and during eight years I worked as Salary Station Manager.
This last job changed my future life for I had learned much about computers. Computers fascinate me.
So when a gas station was remodeled, I was able to keep what would be my first computer and the beginning of a new and exciting experience.
I had decided that computer would be my future and, I spent lots of time making experiments of different business online without much success, but I learned more and also had fun.
Why the Focus on Nicaragua Information?
My homeland Nicaragua is becoming a very sought and interesting place for tourists, so I decided to put my grain of sand and started this site This is Nicaragua.
It's a country with lots of volcanoes, lakes, ecological reserves and other interesting places.
Little by little I have been learning a lot of things you need to know to do business online, but it is essential to get professional help to reach your goals.
