Travel is tiring! After just a couple weeks I’m worn out.
Plus, living out a bag gets old fast. 15 hour bus rides are actually hell on earth. And boy does it stink to meet wonderful girls you’d like to date and get to know, but instead are reduced to aiming for the infamous one nighter.
Whereas, when living abroad, you can get to really know the place where you’re at, still that does not mean you won’t need international travel insurance, you can find it on websites like https://www.internationalinsurance.com/health/north-america/usa.php. And find the best, local places to hang out, eat, shop. How to save and even make money locally. Business opportunities begin to appear to you.
You can actually meet cool people and stick around long enough to get to know them and enjoy their company.
You can see cultures from an angle tourists can only hope to see.
You can take little interesting side trips to unknown places you’d never find following the tourist trail.
Need I say more?
The biggest thing you get when moving abroad is a widening of your personal perspective. You begin to see things from different angles and begin to have more compassion for the world in which we live…and did I mention it’s fun!

Having to re-apply and constantly extend tourist visas can be a hassle. If you are planning on staying in Ecuador for more than 3 months a year, a residency visa is your choice.
There are many different ways to get your residency in Ecuador. Here, I will mention the easiest two.
For me, the easiest two ways to get a resident visa in Ecuador are by investing in real estate or by proving you have a steady pension.
The official names are the 9-I retirement visa and the 9-II investor’s visa.
The main requirement of the 9-I retirement (or pensioner’s) visa is to prove you have a steady pension from some source of at least $800usd a month. You can prove this by getting an official document from the institution that pays you your pension certified by the Ecuadorian consulate in your home country. The rest of the requirements are basically filling out forms.
The main requirement for the 9-II investor’s visa is to buy a property in Ecuador in your name valued (by the local municipality) of at least $25,000usd. The rest of the requirements are retrieving and filling out forms.
Both visas are much easier to attain once in Ecuador (but be sure to bring down the documents they require beforehand)…

Great question.
The weather on the coast of Ecuador is sunny, with bluebird days almost every day from the end of December until the beginning of April. From mid April to mid December, the skies are overcast most days. The temperature doesn’t really change year-round, staying around a mild yet warm 72-82 F.
The humidity is low, due to the comfortable breeze blowing constantly off the ocean.
The Pacific Ocean is similar to the Pacific coast in Mexico or California. The water is a little darker than it is in the Caribbean. The water temperature is OK to swim without a wetsuit, but for long periods in the water, some surfers use a half wetsuit.
Rain on the coast is a rare commodity, but some areas get much more rain than others. For example, the Manta area is rather dry, but from Puerto Lopez to Montanita it can get rather wet in the cloudy season.
