Ecuador
What should I pack when moving to Ecuador?
We asked people living in Ecuador to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"Being from Australia probably more vegemite. My moisturiser that I used for hundreds of years........but now I have found another here that is just as good. My grown kids :)," remarked another expat who made the move to Cuenca, Ecuador.
"Wish I would have brought: Gallons of Patina for our stained glass hobby; Desk Chair because I work from home; more towels and dishrags Things I could have left: all things leather (we live on the beach and everything molds); metal lamps (rusted); outdated computer (should have bought a new one before shipping down here)," explained one expat living in Puerto Cayo, Ecuador.
