I know that alot of people read this forum and some post. I have a question for all the potential ex-pats coming to Ecuador. Of course, I will be very surprised if I get some answers, but I will ask anyway. How many people who desire to relocate to Ecuador are doing this purely for a financial standpoint--that is, are you coming here just because of the cheaper price to live, and of course, secondly, a desire to explore a new lifestyle? OR which of you are deciding to relocate here to live purely a different lifestyle, something to get the "old blood" going? I am curious. Which are coming only for cheap prices and which are coming for a different and adventurous life? Many of the regulars on this forum have given of themselves by sharing information to help the new people that wish to relocate. How about answering one question from someone who lives here and wishes to know a little about the "exodus"..... I would imagine it is quite a change from regular life up north or anywhere else. Why are you folks considering it AND what are the priorities? Please let us know your thoughts and opinions on this. Thanks for anyone who will "go out on a limb" to answer!
