Why Ecuador?
Like so many of you who also live here in Ecuador, I have been asked this question many times. For the past four years, I have responded by reciting the reasons I have enjoyed living in my new country as proof that I, along with thousands of others, have made the right decision. Here are my experiences.
I’ve been surprised by how much more I was getting than just a country on the dollar and inexpensive housing. Having lived in four cities in Ecuador and visiting many more, I’ve encountered the welcoming nature of Ecuadorians in so many sweet examples. For instance, my first week in Quito at the end of 2018, I was sick and headed to the pharmacy at the big mall not knowing a soul. At the pharmacy counter, I was struggling to tell the pharmacist my symptoms when a young man came up to help communicate with both languages – I knew then I had come to the right place!
