"I am a Puerto Rican living in the US since 1979. I finished my undergrad studies and two Master's Degrees in the US. After several years of working as a Property Management professional, I retired on March 1, 2023, and I decided that moving to Ecuador makes economic sense. I also applied to become a Peace Corps volunteer. The medical clearance is up in the air so I do not know if I will be accepted. But either way, Ecuador will be my home for years to come. I have an old friend who will be joining me. We are looking for adventure and a laid-back lifestyle. The US (Chicago) has become too expensive and very stressful as a result. I believe that I am making the right decision, I will have the entire South American continent to explore! Wish me luck!" - ecrespo2

Planning Your Move

"We have been considering a move to Ecuador for a couple of years now and are planning a trip there next month for 10 days. We have three young children and concerned about their education. Do expats with young children recommend home schooling, private schooling, or public schools. we are considering the coastal area. Thank you Scott and Family" - scottamos

"Hi All~ I'm looking for info on how to get from Costa Rica to Ecuador ... I know the obvious, but flights I'm seeing go from CR to Miami then to Quito. I will be in CR in early November and then want to head to Ec. It's odd to me, that flights I can get from San Francisco to Ec are less than those from CR > EC. Am I looking for 'love in all the wrong places' or is this just how it works. I'm open to any suggestions as how to get from A to B or in this case, from C to E ... HELP! Any suggestions considered and appreciated! Thanks all ... after a year and a half delay bc of health issues, I'm excited to finally be heading down that way. I hope to finally meet some of you. Gracias! Janice" - jan1149
