INJURED In A Small Rural Town In Ecuador, and THIS Happened…

October 29, 2020/in Olón Ecuador

Ecuador Long Term Rentals: Beachfront Living in Olón Ecuador (2020)

July 16, 2020/in Ecuador Expat Info, Olón Ecuador

We’ve been living in Ecuador for almost 3 years, and we still get asked if our home has indoor plumbing, running water or dirt floors. We’re happy to report that the myth is not reality. While some of the more rustic, locals oriented homes do still have dirt floors, the vast majority of Ecuadorians and expats live in places that would fit anywhere in the US or the developed world.

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.
