Expats in Ecuador: 2 Year Update-Is the Honeymoon Over?
We've been a little under the radar lately as we navigate real life in Malacatos. Here are our 2 year reflections of life in Ecuador.
How's our Spanish?
Have we found community?
Will we stay?
How's the visa process coming along?
Have our expectations met the reality of life here?
We'll cover all of this and more!

So happy to see the two of you thriving in Ecuador. And we totally hear you on Cuenca. It's a beautiful city, but for us, it was way too frenetic and filled with more auto exhaust than our lungs could handle. We ended up in Cotacachi and have been here since March of this year. Loving it! And so happy to hear a "been in Ecuador 2 years" perspective. It's encouraging.

@@edsedlak6827 No kidding. My husband and I both got hit with Covid shortly after arrival in Cuenca. After staying in for a week and then attempting to go out, we found the exhaust just too much for us. So, Covid did us a favor! Plus, trying to cross streets there without a traffic light is death-defying. Cotacachi is much better for us.

It’s great here and making adjustments is part of the fun. Being single (i seem to only see, hear, expat couples) is a challenge here but also in the US, especially after a certain age, moving around, remote working. This idea of instant community in Cuenca just isn’t always true. Even when Ive met single women, even when new here, my sense was sticking around w their established circle. Sorry to go off on a tangent. Thank you for acknowledging the challenge. I have done a lot of reaching out and showing interest in others that hasnot bern reciprocated. My happiest days now are alone doing new stuff and losing expectations. Lonely though but could be anywhere. best of luck in your town. good news is you have each other.

@GMAceM
@GMAceM Год назад
Ah yes, a fellow motorcycle rider 😎 So I guess three things I’d like to comment on: •While I don’t live where you guys are, I can definitely agree that the roads are something that people can only dream of ever getting fixed. This isn’t even an exaggeration. I have Ecuadorian friends, been here their whole lives (20 years) or their parents are born here (40-50+ years) and the roads, main or side roads, have been the same all their lives, and I am talking about in a capital city. If you go out to the countryside or to less “popular” cities, good luck finding a paved road. If you like that kind of thing then cool, but if you don’t then you’re gonna see it a lot. •The second thing is the friendship aspect. In this case it all really depends on how much you’re willing to interact with others. You do of course have to fight agains the fact that you weren’t in the person’s friend group while they were growing up, but if you actively talk to people and maybe partake in the things they do, then making friends can be quite easy here. This kinda sounds like “how to make a friend 101” advice and I don’t actively try to do it myself but I know what it entails lol •And the last thing is coastal food. You guys have not eaten Ecuador’s finest until you have a go at the food from the coast. I heavily promote encebollado because it is my favorite dish AND it’s the second best fish soup in the world. BUT don’t buy into the rumors, Guayaquil DOES NOT HAVE THE BEST ENCEBOLLADO. If you want the best encebollado, come on down to Portoviejo and I’ll show you what the best encebollado looks like. That’s all from me, glad to hear you guys are having a great time!

Interesting video, thanks. Especially about not having Ecuadorian friends. I’m retired in Thailand and all my friends are Thai. There are expats here who just live in an expat bubble (usually very bitter Brits who like to sit together, complain, and tell each other how the world should be run). I much prefer my Thai friends, who are warm and welcoming. Family is super important here, and once you’re accepted you’re treated like family.

@FlynnsOnTheFly
@FlynnsOnTheFly Год назад
Hola Happy! 1. We were planning to move to Panama initially, but pivoted to Ecuador after watching another video and realized how much more Ecuador has to offer. We have met more travelers after living here and are reaffirmed in our decision... 2. It's easier for most couples to live more remote here and you form a team! We know single people that thrive in Cuenca and Quito, but in more remote areas single people report being lonely. 3. Transactional Spanish will get you everywhere here, but the more fluent you are the better ✌️
