It's hard to believe that my husband and I have been in Cuenca for five years now. We've been married for 26 years (married in 1989). We were both still working and when we thought ahead of our retirement dreams, they did not include living as expats abroad. Mind you, we loved the idea of traveling abroad but the problem is that when you stop working, you have time but no money (when you're working you have money but no time!)
So when our retirement became a reality (not just a dream), we knew we needed to make some changes -- we downsized from a home into a condo -- which worked for about three years. When the market crashed in 2008, we knew we needed to make some more changes -- changes that we hadn't anticipated -- literally living abroad.
So that bring us to Cuenca. We arrived in August of 2010. For information about our expat experience in Cuenca, see our blog at

Hasta Luego!
