I'm coming to Ecuador on Mon. for the first time. Just found this informative blog and appreciate the shared information. I realize at this point I don't have a lot of time to read through the wonderful information here. My name is Steve Rickman and I'm from Alaska, my goal is to retire within a couple years somewhere in LA. Gotta get my sons through college. My goal is to live in a healthy enviornment, lots of organic fresh fruits. My comfort level is in a beach location that has not had property prices increased due to alot of development but has potential for property rental development down the road. Scuba diving and body surfing is what I love, along with adventerous journeys.
Since I'm only here two weeks, it won't be possible to see everything that Ecuador has to offer.
I have no itinerary after the first few days in Quito. Any advice on where to go and stay would be appreciated. Also, are there locations in Quito, Cuenca, that I could meet expats.
Gracias,
Steve
