our fears

What SCARES us about living in rural Ecuador during a PANDEMIC (Olón Ecuador Beach Town)

May 5, 2020/in Ecuador Beach Towns, Olón Ecuador

Overall, we feel safe here in Olón Ecuador during the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, but we still have a few fears. Living in a rural area in a developing nation during a worldwide crisis without easy access to quality medical care is a bit unnerving. We’re doing the best we can under the circumstances and trying to stay safe and positive.

We’re Feeding Olón Thanks to YOUR Generosity! Meet The Volunteers! (April 14, 2020)

April 14, 2020/in Olón Ecuador

Thanks to your EXTREME generosity, we are able to continue feeding the people of Olón who are unable to work during the coronavirus quarantine. Up to 90% of the people in this area rely on tourism for their income so without tourism, they don’t have jobs and without jobs, they don’t have money to buy food.

It's feeling a little post-apocalyptic now

It’s feeling a little post-apocalyptic now – my solo walk to Montañita Ecuador

March 31, 2020/in Olón Ecuador

It felt a little too post-apocalyptic walking from Olón to Montañita Ecuador this morning because there were no cabs, no buses for weeks and no ATM to get cash. My mind kept replaying, “It’s the end of the world as we know it…” by REM. Not a comforting thought!

Clueless Cab Driver

Clueless Cab Driver // Ghost Town // Ecuador Coronavirus Update (March 16, 2020)

March 16, 2020/in Olón Ecuador

Several new government issued safety measures are going into effect tomorrow morning so we needed to go to Montañita to pay our Claro bill and get some cash from the ATM. We’re concerned that we won’t be able to go between Olón and Montañita once the new isolation protocol is in effect, and since there’s no longer an ATM in Olón, we were a bit concerned.

Why We Chose Olón Ecuador + Why We Left Cuenca (recap)

March 10, 2020/in Cuenca Ecuador, Ecuador Beach Towns, Olón Ecuador

We’ve been getting lots of questions about why we left Cuenca and why we chose Olón Ecuador over Salinas or any of the other lower altitude cities in Ecuador. In this video, we an answer those questions as we walk around (and a fly over) Olón.

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.
