Hello All. We will be visiting Cuenca on an exploratory trip the first half of February. Getting a break from this winter will be really nice too. Would like to meet some of the expats to learn from your experiences on the ground. Retirement is a few years off but must start exploring the options with time. We have a place and will try as much as possible to live like local expats. We are also fluent in Spanish, so hoping that will help ease the experience.
Any advice on local life, cultural activities, grocery shops, etc. is welcome.
Saludos!

Greetings Jorgito, getting away from Trenton, NJ is a great idea any time of the year.
I noticed on your profile you said you want to move to Colombia, and since you are in the pharmacy business that would be logical. Any reason why you are coming to Ecuador instead? Are you going to check out both countries? If so, we would love to read your comparing and contrasting the two, especially since you speak Spanish. Good Luck!!
