My concerns are:
1. the cost of living in Cuenca: the rental cost of a one bedroom apartment outside the city center.
2. the cost of rental amenities
3. the cost of food
4. the cost of healthcare for expats. I am a healthy 70 year old without any preexisting medical conditions.
5. Can I apply for a resident visa within Ecuador or I have to do it at my country of origin.
6. Is it easy to find expat acquaintances and friends in Cuenca?
Thank you for any information or source of information you can direct me to.
Gratefully,
Reynaldo
