“We devoured Amelia and JP’s Ecuador videos while preparing for our move! Even more than the practical tips for preparing to relocate and for adjusting to life abroad, their joy of discovery and respectful treatment of Ecuadorian culture—but through a helpful expat lens—grew our confidence that we could make a place for ourselves here.” ~Brittany & Family, USA

Here’s what a few of our members said about the eCourse:

Stephen - U.S.

I have been stumbling around on moving to Ecuador. Looking at really expensive tour groups, which I do not like. I like getting out and “rubbing elbows” with the locals. This has given me the insight and courage to move forward.

Nancy - U.S.

Learning a lot! This module was very helpful on letting us know what to expect as we go through getting ready to become expats. It’s wonderful learning from someone that’s been there and done that.

Kevin - U.S.

Saved Me a LOT of Time. I wish this came out before I did 5 months of research. This course tells almost all anyone needs.

Bruce & Lin An - U.S.

Lots of good and helpful information. So glad we purchased your excellent course.

Antony - U.S.

Excellent Course! Well worth the price for all this priceless information.

Timothy - U.S.

Why we created this

We were living what looked like a good life in the U.S.
Nice house. Nice cars. Conventional path.

Then everything changed.

After a medical emergency that nearly cost JP his life — and two surgeries totaling nearly $1 million — we were forced to ask hard questions about what actually mattered.

We were given more life when we thought it was about to end.
And we didn’t want to waste it.

Leaving the U.S. wasn’t easy. We had debt, uncertainty, and fear.
We didn’t know where to start or who to ask.

So we figured it out the hard way.

And once we did, we promised ourselves we’d help others avoid the same costly mistakes.

That’s why we created our YouTube Channel, the Ecuador EXPRESS eCourse, the Expat Community, and everything we share today.

You don’t have to stumble through this alone.
We’re here and we’d love to help you take the next step.
