Hello, I am an undergraduate student researching expatriates in South American cities, including Lima, and am also thinking about moving down there one day. I would absolutely love if anyone out there could answer a few questions/be willing to talk to me about your expat experience, it would go a long way to help my thesis- and be completely anonymous!
Even just a few basic answers to any of these questions would be extremely appreciated.
What neighborhood do you live in in Quito?
Why did you choose to live there?
In your impression, what types of people live there?
What areas do you feel like most expats live in?
Do you interact with mainly other expatriates or do you have many Ecuadorian friends? Was it difficult to make friends outside the expatriate community?
Do you speak Spanish?
Do you work, and if so what do you do?
Please help and thanks!
