Category: Ecuador for Investors

Do your closest friends and family really lay into you when you mention your desire to move abroad?

Ever hear things from them like…Are you crazy? How will you make a living (if you have no pension)? But, foreigners all want to come here, why would you go there? I don’t think it’s safe, haven’t you seen the news?

…and more…

I heard these questions before I moved abroad right after I graduated college from my dad, grandmother and host of others…

Now, some of my friends reacted differently, saying I was so lucky and they wished they could move abroad too but they just had too much debt.

Well, I smirked when they told me this cause I also had 5 figure debt after college when I moved abroad. But I went anyway, and I have since paid it off with money I made in Latin America (probably faster than I would have staying to work in the US).

I think when you deal with these people the best thing to do is remember that they mean well, but they just don’t get it. They aren’t you. And often, are projecting their own insecurities onto you.

In fact, they probably haven’t even been to the country you wish to move to, and have already passed judgment.

The fastest way to regret is to not be true to you. Be true to yourself and your dreams. Don’t let anyone or anything stand in your way.

Hear them out. Don’t try to reason with them. Say comforting things like, “I’ll come back if it doesn’t work out” or “We’ll be in touch everyday”… then just go.

Now, even though you just mentioned you’d be open to coming back, I don’t recommend having a plan B. It is like setting yourself up to fail. All or nothing, man, live like a Texan!

And unlike you may hear from other expat experts, I don’t recommend traveling around for a while in your chosen region before picking a place to stay.

I’ve done it. It is just too damn stressful. Too many options. It’s better to just go, see a couple places in your region of interest, pick one and make it work.

Besides, it’s not the place you’re after, it’s probably the “change”. And remember, being in a specific place won’t make you happy, it’s the people in the place and how you feel on the inside that are more important. So remember upon arrival, don’t camp out behind a computer, get out, meet people, learn the local language and get involved, you’ll be happy you did.

So stop reading this and go over to Expedia and book that flight already…I mean now!

Cheers, hope to see you down here, Dom

Many ask me about the climate in Ecuador. I just laugh because it really depends on where in Ecuador you are.

That is the beauty of Ecuador weather. There is something for everyone.

If you want eternal springlike weather year round, Ecuador has it. (Vilcabamba)

If you want brisk, 50 degree F mountain weather year round, Ecuador has it. (Cuenca, Ambato)

If you want breezy, low humidity 77 F year round, Ecuador has it. (Salinas, Olon)

If you want 95 F hot and muggy, Ecuador has it. (Guayaquil, Machala)

If you want rain, or lots of sun, Ecuador has that too. And all within an arm’s reach of each other. (Puyo)

A perfect example of a micro-climate is the sub-tropical Valley of “los chillos” about 45 minutes outside of Quito. The weather is noticeably warmer than Quito, due to it’s lower elevation.

These mini-micro-climates are created by the varying elevations of the towns in Ecuador. Ecuador has it all, from sea level to 15,000 ft peaks.

And the best part is, if you find a temperature you like, chances are the temperature remains almost the same year-round in that area, due to the proximity of the Equator.

It sure can be rough on your body when one day is 30 F, and the next is 70 F. That doesn’t happen in Ecuador.

The only types of seasons Ecuador has are rainy and dry seasons, which tend to vary depending on your specific location.

No matter your climatic preference, Ecuador has it for you!

Don’t get me wrong, I love American food, but in 2 short weeks in the US, I’ve put on 10 pounds. At that rate, by Christmas I would weigh over 300 pounds!

Now, living in Ecuador I eat like a hog, but I don’t gain weight, in fact, I often lose weight. Why?

The food is MUCH better for you. Even if you don’t want to cook you can find a full 3 course lunch in the street with soup, salad, drink and dessert for around $2. Whereas, if you eat in the street in the States, your options are almost all fried, fast food: Arbys, BK, McDs, etc…

Eating out of a can is almost unheard of in Ecuador. Fresh fruits and veggies are the norm. The meats are often grilled. The chicken baked. Overall, I find the food in Ecuador to be much more organic and delicious than the food in the States. You can also check The-tea-set for have some delicious recipes ready in short time. A big reason why I chose to come down.

Saludos, Dom
