Amelia And JP Ecuador

Following a life-changing event back in Denver Colorado, we took stock of our lives and decided we needed to do something different.

After a lot of soul searching and some VERY tough decisions, we made the choice to sell everything we owned and leave the US in search of a more unconventional life, in a more affordable and tranquilo part of the world.

Unless something drastic happens politically or economically, Ecuador is our permanent home. We plan to spend at least 6 months per year in Ecuador for the rest of our lives. It's our Plan A and we hope to get our citizenship next year. However, we also want to diversify our residency so we have a Plan B in case something really bad happens and we need to leave Ecuador (returning to the USA is Plan Z). That's why we've been researching other countries and sharing that research with you. There are A LOT of fantastic places to live that offer a higher quality of life for a lower cost of living than the USA! In this video, we share 10 cheap countries where a couple can live a high quality lifestyle on less than $2,000 per month. You would need $6K to $10K to live like this in the United States! #ecuador #expats #expatlife #moveabroad #movingabroad #liveabroad #livingabroad #livingabroad
