Knowing that you're paying $400 a month to stay with your friends, grandmother is not very useful information for anyone else. unless we can all stay at your friend's grandmother's place.
Haha it is true, but was hoping it can give you a sense of how similar private rooms in the area might be priced. Had some friends find similar places for the same price :)
@@Eddie_He Kudos 🤙 for staying positive in answering this "fella's" question. Appreciate the time n effort you took to make this vid. Best of luck to you in all your endeavors Eddie !!! ( I'm interested in Loja and Vilcabamba areas of EU currently but have to investigate Quito after seeing your vid. )
I was hoping to get an overview of Cumbaya, including some of its neighborhoods, shopping areas, hospitals, theaters, parks, hiking trails (if any), and housing. And your video did indeed touch on these things to some degree. But I confess I was hoping for a bit more. I'm glad that you included some shots of your apartment (or condo) as an example of the kind of place one might have in Cumbaya, but where you lost me is in the level of detail you took us through in your walk-in closet. Don't get me wrong - I think it's useful to see the storage space available, including closets, shelving, etc. But did you really think your viewers would be captivated by seeing your jackets, shirts, shoes, etc? I think it's a bit bizarre that you made a point to call those things to our attention (as opposed to just giving us an overall view of the closet and then moving on to other things). Just as you showed us the kitchen, but you didn't open all its drawers and cabinets, you could do likewise for closets. Just a suggestion on my part for you to consider for future videos. (I'm planning to move from Minneapolis to Cumbaya.)
You're totally right Jeff! I appreciate the candidness - will learn from it! (Think original thought was to show viewers a little bit about myself and what I own might highlight that but realizing you guys don't really care haha)
@@Eddie_He, well, actually, I like the personal touch to your videos. I don't expect you to make documentaries. I know you are not employed at the Ecuador Tourism Bureau. Ha ha. Your own personality is part of what makes your videos unique. Also, I realize that it takes time and resources to give an overview of a community. So what you could do is give your viewers a sample of Cumbayá in a series of videos. Perhaps this is what you have in mind anyway. As you yourself explore different parts of the Tumbaco Valley and of Quito as a whole, you can take us with you in different videos. I look forward to other videos from you in the future!
$ 400 for that is a steal! I live in San Francisco and a place like that would cost $ 8k per month. I was considering relocating to Ecuador but I heard its not best since crime has really went up.
Hello dear is it 400 usd for all the home or you are sharing the money with your mates who are living with you? How much total cost you? did u get it furnished?
Is there a service or resource you know of that helps you find "homestays" like this? Other than air bnb's. Do local realtors know of these places?....Thanks! And great video!
@@Eddie_He 100% , I 'm from the area and I have been to some that are just awe inspiring. Not to hate on it but just so people know that actually, there is much more bouginess in places such as Ecuador (known as the "global south") than what they can find in their own cities.
I brought it from the states - it's considered a carry-on. I had it and a 40 liter backpack. But you can also definitely get one around here for a reasonable price too
@@catherineromero1862 thats what happens in ECU. Havent you heard? all Americans have millions of u.s dollars. If u visit Ecu you better have a kidnapping plan in place
